DAP's Bukit Gelugor candidate Ramkarpal Singh feels the hacking of party leaders' mobile phones is a last ditch attempt to undermine his campaign.

However he feels quite confident and comfortable about his campaign thus far, and says such "under the belt" tactics will have no effect on his bid to retain the seat for DAP.

"It is obviously a sabotage," Ramkarpal quipped, expressing relief that his own phone was not hacked.

"I don't think it would have an impact.  I am sure people can see through it.

"The show goes on, we carry on with what we have to do," he said when met at his campaign trail at a supermarket in Farlim.

Four DAP leaders - Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy, state executive councillors Phee Boon Poh and Chong Eng, and Seri Delima assemblyman RSN Rayer lodged police reports today claiming their mobile phones had been hacked to send out "racist" messages to unidentified recipients.

On allegations that DAP had copied Parti Cinta Malaysia (PCM) election manifesto, Ramkarpal said such claims were "baseless".

"That manifesto was made as a result of the feedback we got during the campaign. That is why it wasn't launched in the beginning," Ramkarpal replied.

"The manifesto is to take into account what we got from the ground.

"A lot of people questioned if it is an afterthought - it is quite the opposite, that's why it was late," he said.

'Don't take win for granted'

PCM candidate Huan Cheng Guan has claimed that out of six key points identified by DAP, five were in his own party's manifesto theme 'Together We Move Forward With Penang', which he unveiled on May 14, third day of the campaign.

Ramkarpal announced his manifesto on Friday, focussing on six themes: traffic congestion, need for a public recreational area, wet markets upgrade, education, housing and development programmes and the environment.

On his plan tomorrow, polling day, Ramkarpal said he will be visiting the 17 polling centres one by one, just as he had done when campaigning for his father, the late Karpal Singh, who died in a tragic highway car crash on April 17.

Ramkarpal is continuing to urge Bukit Gelugor voters to come out and vote, as he has been doing since the campaign started, to ensure voters do not take the contest for granted thinking their vote would not be needed as the DAP candidate is certain to win.

"Even for outstation voters, please come back to vote. It is not too late to come back as the polling centres are open from 8am to 5pm," he said.

Ramkarpal is expected to win comfortably against Huan and two Independents Abu Backer Sidek Mohammad Zan and Mohammad Nabi Bux Mohammad Nabi Sathar.
