Menteri Dalam Negeri itu menyatakan bukan semua anggota Rela yang hadir di program petang ini di Kampung Selaba, Teluk Intan memakai uniform baru yang berwarna hijau muda.
"Saya menyedari terdapat perbezaan dalam uniform – ada yang memakai hijau gelap, yang lain hijau muda – Saya berjanji kepada pengundi di Teluk Intan, jika Mah menang, saya akan segera membelikan anda uniform baru " katanya yang mendapat sorakan 4,000 orang yang hadir.
"Jika dia tidak menang, anda mesti membeli sendiri. Tetapi saya yakin dengan kerjasama kita, kerja keras dan komitmen yang tinggi, kita akan memastikan Mah Siew Keong memenangi kembali kerusi Parlimen Teluk Intan, " kata Zahid.
Beliau menambah ementara lebih 8,000 anggota Rela di Teluk Intan layak mengundi, beliau memberi amaran kepada mereka bahawa beliau sedar siapa yang tidak mengundi dalam pilihan raya umum 5 Mei tahun lepas.
"Pada pilihan raya umum ke-13, seramai 2,019 anggota Rela tidak mengundi. Saya periksa satu demi satu, dan saya tahu siapa yang tidak keluar mengundi.
"Jangan bimbang, mereka tidak berada di sini pada majlis ini. Tetapi kita mesti memastikan mereka mengundi kali ini," kata Zahid.
Walaupun identiti pengundi sepatutnya rahsia, Zahid, yang juga naib presiden Umno memberitahu orang ramai beliau mampu memeriksa peti undi untuk melihat siapa yang mengundi.
Mah, presiden Gerakan, dikalahkan dalam pilihan raya umum 2013 oleh calon DAP Seah Leong Peng dengan margin sebanyak 7,313 undi.
Teluk Intan mempunyai 60,349 pengundi, termasuk 410 pengundi awal dan pengundi tidak hadir 12.
Kawasan itu mempunyai 23,301 pengundi Melayu (38.6%), 25,310 Cina (41.9 %) dan 11,468 India (19%).
Kali pertama DAP memenangi kerusi persekutuan, kemudian dikenali sebagai Teluk Anson, dalam pilihan raya 1969, apabila Chan Fu King menewaskan calon MCA Dr Ng Kam Poh.
Bagaimanapun, sejak persempadanan semula pada 1974, 1984 dan 1993, kawasan pilihan raya itu berubah dari segi komposisi dan watak, yang membolehkan calon Gerakan memenangi kerusi itu dari 1974 sehingga pilihan raya umum 1995 apabila M. Kula Segaran dari DAP memenangi kerusi tersebut. – tmi
Zahid janji uniform baru untuk Rela jika Gerakan menang PRK Teluk Intan
'You stand to lose if you vote others'
"If only Bagan Datoh and Pasir Salak (two neighbouring BN constituencies) gets allocation and Teluk Intan doesn't, it makes life difficult for the district officer," Ahmad Zahid said.
"Let's make it easier for him by ensuring that all the constituencies within Hilir Perak district represented by BN MPs," he added.
Ahmad Zahid also stated his confidence that Mah will be part of the country's "top leadership" should he be elected.
"Bagan Datoh has a minister, Pasir Salak's representative is a deputy minister. I'm confident, if he is elected, our candidate for Teluk Intan will be part of top leadership," he said to some 4,000 Rela members from Teluk Intan.
"I don't have to tell you how much you stand to lose if choose (elect) others," he added.- mk
Ambiga: Apa tindakan SPR pada Zahid(Zahid's Rela warning breached Election Act)...
Katanya, beliau tertanya-tanya jika Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya akan bertindak atas kenyataan Ahmad Zahid semasa kempen pilihan raya kecil Parlimen Teluk Intan itu.
"Bagaimana (Zahid) tahu mengenai undi? Undi adalah rahsia. Saya boleh beritahu anda, banyak kesalahan dilakukan hari ini (Sabtu), tapi adakah SPR akan bertindak?
"Sebab itu saya mahu anda keluar mengundi pada 31 Mei," kata Ambiga lagi dalam satu majlis di Sekolah San Min, Teluk Intan.
Ahmad Zahid dalam satu ucapan di sebuah sekolah semalam memberi amaran kepada anggota RELA bahawa beliau "tahu siapa yang mengundi dan tidak mengundi" semasa pilihan raya umum lalu.
"Jadi, kali ini, pasitkan BN menang di kerusi Parlimen ini," katanya.
Beliau juga berjanji untuk membekal pakaian seragam baru kepada anggota RELA tersebut sekiranya BN menang dalam pilihan raya kecil kali ini.
Tambahnya, Teluk Intan akan layak menerima peruntukan RM1 juta sekiranya memilih Mah Siew Keong.
Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's warning to
volunteer corps Rela to come out and vote in the Teluk Intan by-election
broke "many" rules from the Election Offences Act, former Bersih
co-chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan said yesterday.
Speaking at a DAP fundraising dinner attended by a bumper crowd of more than 2,000 at the San Min independent Chinese school, the former Bar Council president questioned if the Election Commission (EC) would act against Ahmad Zahid's offences.
"How
can he (Zahid) know about the votes? Votes are supposed to be a secret.
I can tell you many offences were committed today (Saturday), but will
the EC act?
"That is why you need to go out and vote on May 31," Ambiga (above) said.
Yesterday at the campaign trail the home minister at a rally held in a public school warned Rela members of the last general election, " I know who has voted and didn't vote,"
"So, this time, make sure that BN wins this parliamentary seat," he said, promising them new uniforms should BN win the by-election, adding Teluk Intan would be eligible for the RM1 million constituency allocation if the voters vote Mah Siew Keong.
For years opposition MPs have complained of the government denying them the quantum, that only BN parliamentarians receive in totality while opposition reps are given far less.
'Vote to reject violence'
Ambiga said she was sure that "discrepancies" would happen during polling day, and as such a high turnout was necessary to compensate.
She added the threat by Umno Youth members to "burn down" the DAP headquarters was a "threat without dignity".
"With your vote, you can say you reject the politics of violence," she said.
She said that DAP was "smart" to field Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud as their candidate for the by-election, and that Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) should be proud to have an alumnus such as her.
"This by-election is critical because we can witness a new political era, that will come because of Dyana Sofya," she added.
Among the other speakers at the dinner included PKR deputy president Azmin Ali and strategist Rafizi Ramli, apart from many top DAP leaders including Lim Guan Eng and Lim Kit Siang.- mk
