PAS Says Activities With Corruption Elements Rampant (KT by Election)

Pas deputy president Nasharuddin Mat Isa today said activities with elements of corruption are quite rampant in the Kuala Terengganu by-election.

"With lures given to the people in the form of instant projects, in the form of promises... from tarred roads and the promise to give laptop computers to school students.

"For us, these are activities which can be interpreted as corruption," he told reporters at the party's education camp in Kuala Ibai here.

He also chided former Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo who had said Pas chose Wakaf Mempelam Asssemblyman Mohd Abdul Wahid Endut to stand in the by-election because the party lacked leaders.

Nasharuddin said Wahid was chosen because of his credibility as a popular candidate who could ensure Pas' victory and able to serve the people.

On the party's move to give the campaigning job in Chinese areas to Parti Keadilan Rakyat and DAP, he said it was a strategy to enable the voters understand what were delivered.
