Mukhriz: New approach needed to win Penanti

SHAH ALAM: Out-of-the-box thinking must be applied if Barisan Nasional wants to win the Penanti by-election.
Jerlun MP Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir said such thinking had not been deployed before by Barisan.
“On a personal opinion, it is good to have a BN candidate challenge the seat but we have to employ a new approach that will keep the Opposition guessing on our moves,” he said after flagging off Naza bikes to Iran and Brunei at Section 15 here on Tuesday.
He added that a number of Pakatan Rakyat grassroots members were former Umno members who knew the party’s (Umno) strategies used during campaigning.
Mukhriz, who is Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister, said the Opposition had been harping on non-issues during by-elections.
On the by-election in Penanti, he said his personal view was that it would be a waste of funds and charged that PKR was trying to gain political mileage with it.

tunku : the opposition knows all the bn tactics very well, for 50 years they have been fighting against bn. time has come for bn to use new strategies and change ammo.dump all the old arsenals and bring on the new one.we hope bn will not use the same old boring way of campaigning in penanti that if they will fight for the seat.the best way is to approach the voters one to one.bn must think 10 steps ahead if they would want to win the election.
