Avoid the 3Rs during election campaign, says Zahid
Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says political parties must avoid touching on race, religion and royalty during their election campaigns to prevent disharmony and uneasiness among the people. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, July 15, 2023.
He said this is even more so when it involves leaders from religious-based parties as their actions would only portray a negative image, not only to voters, but also the masses. Zahid said the culture of hurling insults and slander, followed by an apology, is something that must be shunned by the people, regardless of religion.
“A joker may have many followers, not because of aura. But if a joker in politics without aura is considered very famous and popular, then we leave it to the wisdom of the voters in Kedah,” he said.
