Najib Reminds Ijok Voters To Be Wary Of Opposition's Last Minute Tricks

KUALA SELANGOR, April 27 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak reminded voters in Ijok, who will go to the polls tomorrow, to be wary of the opposition's last minute tricks.
He said that based on the feedback he had obtained, the opposition is attempting to confuse voters or prevent them from going to the polling stations, especially Barisan Nasional (BN) supporters.
"Don't become victims of their trap, I hear many dirty tactics will be used by them (opposition) before campaigning ends at midnight tonight.
"We have also received reports that opposition campaigners are going house-to-house to ask for voters' identity cards, purportedly to arrange for renovations to be made to their homes and the like," he told reporters here today.
"Some (opposition campaigners) are distributing leaflets claiming voters who vote for the BN will get money, but counterfeit ringgit. This last minute tactics are to confuse the voters and also to make them angry towards the BN.
He also reminded the opposition to uphold the principles of democracy and ensure that incidents like what happened on nomination day last Saturday in which supporters of the BN and opposition began throwing objects at each other, did not repeat.
"The opposition always say they want a mature democracy, as such they should "walk the talk'," he said, adding that the Police would ensure no untoward incidents happened tomorrow.
Najib added that the BN would intensify canvassing in the last leg of the campaigning before midnight and urged Ijok's outstation voters to return early to vote tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Khir Toyo said some voters in Ijok now were receiving envelopes containing a letter of thanks from the BN and a RM100 counterfeit note.
"This morning I was informed that 290 voters in Ijok received envelopes containing a letter of thanks from the BN for their support and a RM100 counterfeit note in it," he told a press conference in Batang Berjuntai near here today.
He said that the letters, which bore the letterhead of the KDU College, were colour photostatted and the delivery had been made through the postal service.
Mohamad Khir believed many more Ijok voters had received such envelopes containing the letter and the counterfeit money.
Its contents translated into Bahasa Malaysia among others read, "...we have been instructed by the Government to give you RM100 for your support to the BN..."
Mohamad Khir added that he would make a police report regarding the matter.
A KDU College spokesman in Damansara, Kuala Lumpur, when contacted, said the college had never sent out such letters.
"We are being deluded with calls asking about this," he added.

tunku : i think najib should not be worried as voters have decided whom the want as their representative, i admit opposition use dirty tactics so do BN. So let it be as you can't stop these during election campaigning, lots of dirty tricks will happen.People nowadays are not like 10-20 years ago who falls into these traps, they are smarter now and know who can give them the better service.As if you vote for BN for sure they will fulfill 80-90% of the promises and opposition nothing much they can do as their financial sources are very very limited.as for khalid he cannot deliver what BN can deliver unless he spend his own millions of money.i sincere advice to Ijok voters, give BN a win but with very less majority, maybe by hundreds, this might be sending some signal to our HP6 kitchen cabinet.
