SHAH ALAM: Selangor Umno will work with Malay right-wing group Perkasa to register more Malays as voters in a bid to re-capture Selangor from Pakatan Rakyat.
Its liaison committee chairman Datuk Seri Noh Omar said the state Umno would also need the help of Barisan Nasional component parties to register voters from other communities.
Selangor has 49% Malay voters with the rest being non-Malays, Noh said at the annual conference of Selangor Perkasa.
Present was Perkasa president Datuk Ibrahim Ali.
Noh said the exercise to register voters would start next year after all the component parties had completed their elections.
Ibrahim said Perkasa had set up a committee to get more Malays to register as voters.
About 2.5 million Malays in the country had yet to register as voters, and they were among the five million people who would be eligible to vote in the next general election, he said.
Limited time offer:
Just RM5 per month.
