"Not Straightforward and Frank" Guess Who?

Mukhriz puzzled by Dyana's many faces

Kedah Menteri Besar Mukhriz Mahathir is puzzled over the many posters of DAP candidate Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud for the Teluk Intan by-election.

He said this gives rise to the question - which is the real DAP candidate?

"I see many posters... The photos are different.

"There are those with her wearing a tudung (headscarf)....

there are those with her dressed in a corporate outfit












and also those with her wearing a baju kurung.

"Why I am saying this is because to choose a parliamentarian is not easy, you must know the person," Mukhriz was quoted in a report published on Umno Online.

"We become confused. Which is the real Dyana. Lawyer or not a lawyer... I am confused.

"Imagine within two weeks, we have become so confused," he added.

Pick Mah for service

Mukhriz said the people of Teluk Intan cannot have a MP who is not straightforward and frank.

Elected representatives, he added, are those who worked for the people and not for themselves.

He said the person must understand the problems faced by the people and must go down to the ground to hear their grouses.

"I am sure if BN candidate Mah Siew Keong is chosen, he will serve the people and they will not be disappointed," he added.

Furthermore, Mukhriz said the BN formula was unique and successful in protecting the interests of all races in the country.

"In the opposition, there are three big parties. Even so, they do not agree on many things and have conflicting stands. On the other hand, BN has always represented all races.

"The proof being, this time Mah is from the Tionghua community, and those who come to campaign for him are from Umno, MIC, MCA, IPF and others... That is the BN formula," he said.

"If the other camp claims that it is great for fielding a Malay candidate, that is nothing out of the ordinary for us... This (fielding candidates of different races) has been practised since the past in BN," he added.
