PONTIAN: Perikatan Nasional has challenged Umno to have its candidates for the Johor polls take an anti-corruption oath.
Perikatan chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (pic) said that Perikatan was the only coalition that did so in the Melaka state election.
"All of our candidates who will be selected in the next few days, will swear by the name of God that they will not be involved in any corrupt activities, in any abuse of power.
"We challenge Umno and its candidates to take a similar oath. In Melaka, only Perikatan did so, Barisan did not do the same. In Johor, we will have our candidates take the oath again," he said.
He said this in a speech during Perikatan’s Chinese New Year dinner in Pekan Nenas on Thursday (Feb 17) night.
Earlier, the former prime minister and Pagoh MP said that each Perikatan candidate would have to take an anti-corruption oath, similar to candidates for the Melaka election.
He said that Perikatan was offering a clean government to the people in Johor if the coalition wins the state election.
