The controversy surrounding former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s house arrest has been raised in the Johor and Negeri Sembilan state elections, but Pakatan Harapan (PH) still failed to secure the victories it sought, Umno Youth chief Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh said.
He said the issue should not be treated as the deciding factor in the 16th Melaka state election, pointing to the outcomes of the two previous polls.
“If they think Najib is the main reason they are going to win this election, I just want to remind them that this issue was raised in Johor, Negeri Sembilan and now Melaka, and we already know the results.
“We hope the same results as Johor and Negeri Sembilan will emerge today,” he told reporters after casting his vote at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Merlimau today.
