Melaka polls: BN targets 15,000 flags in Tangga Batu as campaign gathers pace
MELAKA: The BN election machinery in Tangga Batu is preparing to put up 15,000 flags, although the campaign's traditional flag war has yet to gather pace.
The Barisan Nasional (BN) election team in Tangga Batu is set to erect 15,000 flags across four constituencies - Sungai Udang, Klebang, Pantai Kundor and Paya Rumput - as the campaign gains momentum. The Youth wing of the BN is spearheading the flag installation, which is currently quiet in contrast to previous elections. BN chairman Datuk Rais Yasin clarified that this absence of large-scale flag displays does not indicate inactivity, rather the party's emphasis on a healthy and amicable form of politics.
The BN's campaign materials will be displayed extensively after the nomination process, with activity expected to intensify over the next two to three days.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh, who inaugurated the flag installation, highlighted that the BN practices politics without malice or incitement. Rais, also the BN candidate for Sungai Udang, emphasized youth participation as a key driver of the campaign, ensuring active involvement of party workers in engaging voters at the grassroots level.
The party's campaign activities are also being coordinated with Friends of BN for smooth preparations for the Melaka election. BN and Pas campaign machinery in Tangga Batu are reportedly cooperating well, assisting each other in mobilising the campaign machinery across the constituencies.
