Forget about 2018, focus on GE15, Ismail Sabri to all BN candidates

SUNGAI SIPUT: Cease all friendly fire and focus on winning the 15th General Election (GE15), says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic).

The caretaker Prime Minister said all candidates from Barisan Nasional should lessen the polemics and to focus on their respective constituencies.

"Let us move forward and work hard to win.

"The rest, we will discuss later," he said in a press conference after attending the Keluarga Felda Lasah here on Tuesday (Nov 15).

"I have spoken a few days earlier that there is no need to talk about party matters now," he added.

Ismail Sabri was asked to comment on Khairy Jamaluddin's recent remark that Umno needed to be cleansed.

"I am also not too clear what he really meant as I didn't ask him," he said.

To a question on whether he believed Barisan Nasional had lost in the 14th General Election because of Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Ismail Sabri said everyone needed to move forward from it and to focus on winning the elections.

"We forget about 2018, on what is wrong or right.

"More importantly, we must win GE15," he said.

"Let the past be the past. It cannot change anything now.

"We learn (from the past) and let us focus on winning as a dominant party to become the Federal Government," he added.
