Muhyiddin: Jihad for Kelantanese to reject PAS

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said it is 'jihad' for the people of Kelantan to reject PAS in the 13th general election (GE13) because the party had resulted in the people in the state becoming backward all this while.

He said the PAS-led Kelantan government was also a very weak government and was totally incapable of bringing development to Kelantan although it had been given the mandate for the past 23 years.

"This is the time for Barisan Nasional (BN) to win in Kelantan. This is a jihad that must be carried out by the people of Kelantan to reject the backwardness and weaknesses that had occurred in the state.

"Allah will not change the fate of a particular ethnic group if that race itself, especially the people of Kelantan, do not make the change," he said at the official opening of the Manek Urai new bridge, Wednesday.

Also present were his wife, Puan Sri Norainee Abdul Rahman, Kelantan BN chairman, Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed and all the BN candidates for the Kuala Krai parliamentary constituency, Tuan Aziz Tuan Mat (Kuala Krai Parliamentary seat), Azizzuddin Hussein (Mengkebang state constituency), Datuk Nik Sapeia Nik Yusof (Guchil state constituency), Che Jalal Muda (Manek Urai state constituency) and Datuk Ramzi Abdul Rahman (Dabong state constituency).

More than 7,000 people attended the official opening ceremony for the new bridge costing RM17 million.
