Recapturing PR-led states will not involve persuading PR assemblymen to cross-over - Mukhriz

Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir, the son of former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad claims that the BN (Barisan Nasional) will not use ‘dirty’ ways like persuading elected assemblymen to jump ship by recapturing the states which are won by the opposition. Instead the BN has its own ways of doing so and enticing the representatives to cross-over is not one of them.

He said “BN would ensure that any action taken before recapturing the opposition-held states was supported by the people. This is more respectable and the important thing is that we regain the support and confidence of the people. Getting the opposition assemblymen to cross over can be done but the public may not be supportive of the move. What was happening in the political scene now was that more opposition elected representatives, especially from Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), were leaving the party as they had lost confidence in the leadership. However, BN would not be an opportunist by meeting the elected representatives involved and persuading them to join BN. We don’t waste time on this, but what we’re doing is working hard to convince the people to support us and addressing the weaknesses in BN, so that eventually the people will come back to us. I am confident that the support we lost in the last general election will return to us,”
