KUALA BERANG, Oct 21 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has advised Barisan Nasional (BN) members not to be involved in ‘cah keting’ (sabotage) if they are not nominated as a candidate for the 15th general election (GE15).
The UMNO vice-president said those not nominated should accept the party’s decision with an open heart and not indulge in ‘cah keting’ because through such activities BN can be defeated even in its own stronghold.
“What’s worrying about cah keting is, we (BN) are not weak, but due to self-sabotage, we fail in our strongholds. If all this while we make fiery speeches on making sacrifices, prove it on Nov 5 (nomination day). If you are not nominated, support our party that is contesting,” he said at the ‘Solidarity, Stability and Prosperity’ programme and the launch of Terengganu BN machinery here today.
Ismail Sabri said two things that must be maintained to ensure BN wins back Terengganu state were to avoid disunity and the machinery must work hard.
He also hoped that BN would recapture the Hulu Terengganu seat because it was originally theirs but was ‘robbed’ by the parliamentary incumbent who jumped ship.
Hulu Terengganu MP Datuk Rosol Wahid who won the seat on a UMNO ticket left the party to join Bersatu after GE14.
