Zahid jangka isu ‘sakau’ jadi bahan kempen lawan di PRN Melaka

Barisan Nasional (BN) president Zahid Hamidi anticipates the issue of 'sakau' being raised more frequently by the opposition during the PRN Melaka campaign, while urging party members to be prepared to defend themselves against such allegations. The BN leader stated that BN must utilize social media to address these accusations to ensure they do not influence voters.

Despite potential criticisms and false claims, Zahid is confident that BN can neutralize these issues through proactive responses on platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Threads. He emphasized that the fight against these attacks must extend beyond the battleground and into the digital realm.

Zahid cautioned BN members not to be overconfident in claiming victory solely based on their successes in Johor and Negeri Sembilan. He reminded them that the party's victory in those states provided a boost to their confidence, but it doesn't guarantee the same success in Melaka. Zahid stressed that winning is not a matter of chance, and it only comes to those who consistently work towards winning hearts and unifying public support for BN.

He also urged all BN factions to strengthen grassroots mobilization efforts, from the district level all the way to the central level, while ensuring discipline throughout the campaign. Additionally, Zahid reminded victorious candidates not to feel arrogant or focus only on their own group, while those who have not yet been elected should not feel discouraged to the point of neglecting their duties to help the party.

The Returning Officer has set the election date for PRN Melaka on November 14th, with candidate nominations due on October 31st and the general election scheduled for November 10th.
