KOTA BHARU: The political trend propagated by Perikatan Nasional will not benefit the people, including the Malays and Muslims in general, says Parti Amanah Negara’s (Amanah) National Communications director Khalid Abdul Samad (pic).
Khalid said the trend would be a big loss to the people because the ideology was one that was obsessed with a certain brand or political party.
“Having political ideology that triggers racial and religious sentiments will only be a big loss to the people and country.
“If the performance of the party or candidate is good we must maintain them in the state elections, and if the performance is not satisfactory, change.
“However, the political trend and ideology brought about by Perikatan, especially PAS, is not based on the performance.
“Voters seem to be not concerned with the performance of a certain party or candidate but just to ensure victory for (PAS and Perikatan),” he said.
He was speaking to members of the media at the Amanah office in Kelantan, which was also attended by Kelantan Angkatan Wanita Amanah (Awan) chief and Kota Lama state assemblyman Dr Hafidzah Mustakim, here on Monday (Aug 14).
Khalid who is also the Kelantan Amanah chairman said due to the trend and ideology promoted by Perikatan, the state of Selangor had also faced the brunt during the recent state elections held in six states.
“The prestige and performance of the Selangor government is the best, including in aspects of development, services and welfare packages to the people.
“Selangor has offered various benefits to the people and that has given them the confidence to vote in the same party.
“We must teach the people to value the performances and services and base our decisions on such evaluation,” he said. – Bernama
