| GE13: Muhyiddin urges BN and Pakatan leaders to accept people’s verdict Posted: 04 May 2013 07:46 AM PDT MUAR: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin says all political party leaders in the country must accept the people's verdict in Sunday's general election. He pledged that Barisan Nasional leaders would accept and respect the outcome of the polls announced by the Election Commission, even if Barisan lost. Speaking to villagers in Taman Temiang in Kampung Temiang here, he said politicians, especially PKR leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, should be "gentlemen and accept the result." "Whichever party wins the general election, it is the decision of the people and we should respect it," he said Saturday. Muhyiddin said he wanted to know what Anwar's views were about accepting the result if Pakatan lost. He said Anwar had accused Barisan and Umno of adopting dirty political tactics to influence voters. "But Opposition leaders have told the people that there will be riots if Barisan lost the election. But Barisan will not do such a thing,'' he stressed. Muhyiddin, who was accompanied by Jorak Barisan candidate Datuk Dr Shahruddin Mohd Salleh, also urged voters not to simply believe any SMS they received. He cited SMS messages distributed by certain parties that Barisan would use foreigners, including Bangladeshi nationals, to vote this time. The DPM explained that non-citizens could not vote and the Election Commission would not even allow them to enter polling stations. "The Opposition leaders are getting very desperate and will create any issue and adopt any tactic to scare the people. "I am asking all voters not to be afraid to go to polling stations and cast their votes," he added. |
