Pakatan may not retain S'gor in next GE because of Umno's devious tricks

Newly-elected PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu (below) fears that victory in Selangor may not be a certainty should a snap election be called in the near term.

Mohamad said to stunned silence from delegates that they had brought prosperity to the state, high wages for teachers and more, but if the general election was called, it was not yet certain if Pakatan would continue to rule Selangor.

The deputy president was tabling the party's central committee motion to galvanise the party in support of the upcoming Bersih 2.0 gathering for electoral reforms and warned that Umno would be up to its devious tricks come elections, such as slipping BN-friendly voters into the electoral roll of Pakatan strongholds and issuing identity cards to permanent residents so they could vote for BN - hence, he moved for the muktamar to endorse the Bersih rally scheduled for July 9, urging the party machinery and allied NGOs to help out and participate to force the government to make elections fairer, cleaner and more transparent.
