(NST) GEORGE TOWN: Permatang Pauh Umno
division chief Datuk Abdul Jalil Abdul Majid said the Barisan Nasional
candidate for Permatang Pasir Rohaizat Othman should have been honest
with party leaders about his background and the issues surrounding his
candidacy.

"If he had informed me (about all this), I would have objected to his
candidacy ... instead, he chose to keep the truth to himself.

"He was not honest and has put Umno and the BN in a bad light."

Jalil said the division should, therefore, not be blamed for the
Barisan Nasional's defeat in the Permatang Pasir state by-election on
Tuesday.

In this regard, the division would also review Rohaizat's position as the Permatang Pauh division secretary, he said.

Jalil also pointed out that Rohaizat's candidacy was not decided by the division leaders.

He said the division had come under fire from critics following Rohaizat's defeat in the by-election.

"We have been accused of misleading the national leadership into consenting to Rohaizat's candidacy but this is a lie."

Rohaizat lost to Pas' Mohd Salleh Man with a 4,551-vote majority in the by-election.

He obtained 5,067 votes compared to Mohd Salleh's 9.618 votes.

Throughout the campaign period, Pas relentlessly attacked Rohaizat for
being disbarred by the Bar Council and also on his personal life.

Jalil said the division comprised 37 committee members, including him.

"However, I only submitted 36 names to the Umno national leadership for consideration.

"I excluded myself as I had made it known right from the start that I was not interested in contesting the by-election."

Jalil added that at no time was he aware of the issues surrounding Rohaizat.

"He never said anything to any of us and we thought he was clean. Also, we did not hear anything bad about him before this.

"Do you think I would jump into a well if I knew it was there in the first place?"


haha...menyedihkan betui alasan. Sapa suruh hang tak selidik dulu.

2 la umno...x pernah nak akui kelemahan

kalah mmg kalah tp.. majoriti sedikit kurang bkn bertambah.. so sedikit sebanyak menampakkan pengaruh anwar ni mulai surut.. jadi rakyat dh mula menerima kepimpinan najib sedikit sebanyak.. pilihanraya mmg mcm ni.. kalo menang ckp hasil usaha smua jentera, kalo kalah salahkan individu la tkkan nak salahkan parti..

peratus kuar mengundi memang menurun ... memang effect majoriti tuu
