Children Exploited In By-election

SUNGAI PETANI, April 7 (Bernama) -- The opposition is using children to woo voters at their shelter outside the Taman Ria polling station in the Bukit Selambau state by-election.
Several children aged between nine and 12 waved Parti Keadilan Rakyat, DAP and PAS flags and posters bearing the picture of the opposition candidate, S.Manikumar.
The children stood along with opposition members and supporters outside the polling station.
A voter, Osman Mustafa, 45, said it was unbecoming of the opposition to exploit children in the by-election.
"The parents should not have brought the children to the polling shelter and they should have been in schools," he said.
A resident, Rashidah Shaari, 32, said the children accompanied their parents, who came from other towns to campaign in the by-election.

tunku : it is not a new thing. the opposition has been doing this for a long time. the worst part is when they are doing demonstration they will bring along their children and put them at the front line. they never think about those children safety,they use the children as their shield.so coward of them.

What's the big deal. At least the "oppositions" usually bring their own children but the "Government" officially use school children for their "official" evens. Of late they have even used half naked dancer and singers for their campaigns...approved by the ministers of islamic affairs too!

Dr,
Official function very much different with illegal gathering or during elections.
Maybe can adjust your eyesight which cant see the difference, hope it's not that bad.
half naked dancers not organised by the minister nor umno, it was done by the Chinese community.

Tunku,
The People's Alliance is going to win Bukit Gantang and Bukit Selambau.

Everything else i.e. using children, belly dancing, intimidation, tear gas.... is not going the change the perception of the Rakyat.

Hidup, Malaysia!

so simple yet you are unable to see it.

how do you know that the minister approved the dancers. what a moron.

check your facts first. maybe you are one of the many malays who benefitted from the nep, but without it, you are a nobody.

so, jangan memfitnah lah.

BN lost the 2 Bukits. EZAM was the factor again. As I have said before, this 'magician' should not be used in any UMNO campaigns. UMNO will never learn! UMNO will never learn! The people are not interested in his 'story telling' anymore. UMNO should have fresh ideas and fresh people to campaign. Why use the 'old stock'??? Aiyaa, susah betul orang UMNO nak faham.

UMNO should stop using all these hal naked girls to woo votes and say that its Chinese or Indian culture. Ezam should stop using 'kulit gelap' to refer to Indians in Bukit Selambar. This backfired. Mahathir pun silap juga. Buat apa pula nak sebut hal kerajaan Perak padahal dia juga dulu tak bersetuju dengan cara BN menawan Perak! Susah betul dibuat mereka ni.

Kenapa nak marah orang Cina baca ayat Quran? Orang putih, orang Keristian pun panadi baca ayat Quraan. Buat apa perkara seperti ni nak dijadikan issue? Susah betul.

Calon UMNO di Bukit Gantang tu bukan gu Nizar. Semak dulu calon sebelum dipilih. Rekod dia okay ke? Susah... susah.
