HULU SELANGOR: PAS Secretary-General Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan’s remark "if Pakatan Harapan (PH) wins (the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election)” suggests a breakdown in the morale and spirit of Perikatan Nasional (PN), says Fahmi Fadzil.
The PKR Information chief said the remark also implies that PN is willing to concede defeat in the KKB by-election on May 11.
"It appears to be a breakdown in spirit and morale inside Perikatan Nasional, as if they are prepared to concede defeat,” the Communications Minister said on TikTok Tuesday (May 7).
Takiyuddin was reported by the media on Monday (May 6) as saying that Perikatan would file an election petition if Pakatan wins the KKB seat, alleging misuse of government machinery by Pakatan during the by-election campaign.
The by-election sees a four-cornered fight between Pang Sock Tao (Pakatan Harapan), Khairul Azhari Saut (Perikatan Nasional), Hafizah Zainuddin (Parti Rakyat Malaysia) and Independent Nyau Ke Xin.
It is being held following the death of the incumbent Lee Kee Hiong, 58, due to cancer on March 21. - Bernama
