BUKIT MERTAJAM: As the night of the final campaign day drew to an end, Umno president and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi joined his Barisan Nasional colleagues to make the last push for their candidate.
Abdullah was at the Barisan operations centres at Berapit in Penanti and Bukit Indera Muda in Permatang Pasir to campaign for candidate Datuk Arif Shah Omar Shah.
“We must have confidence in the voters and trust they will make the right decision,” he told Barisan supporters.
Abdullah said Arif Shah had a good track record and said he was confident of his ability to serve as MP.
“If he does not deliver, I will be disappointed. I believe in our chosen candidate and I give him my utmost support as party president,” he said.
Over at Jalan Baru in Butterworth, rain could not stop a crowd from gathering to hear the last campaign speech of PKR candidate Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar, who stood on a makeshift platform, and talked on economic, racial and unity issues drew laughter when he joked about his sodomy and skirt-chasing allegations.
