Lose Kelantan? Our survey better, says Hadi
PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang (above) today brushed off Merdeka Center's survey which predicted that his party would finally lose its grip on Kelantan in the upcoming polls.
Abdul Hadi said the party's intelligence gathering was more grounded because it relied on party branches.
"Their research relied on telephone (interviews). It is simplistic.
"That's why we believe that our research is more grounded," he said.
Nevertheless, he said PAS took cognisance of Merdeka Center's research because it would help them identify weaknesses.
PAS has ruled Kelantan since 1990 but its support appears to be wavering following the death of its most notable party leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.
Merdeka Centre's survey, which was conducted earlier this month, had concluded that BN was now up 55 points, ahead of PAS (35) and Pakatan Harapan (10).
Moreover, PAS has been perceived to be cosying up to Umno of late and this had put off voters.
The pollster predicted that PAS will still hold on to between 15 and 20 of Kelantan's 45 legislative assembly seats.
Merdeka Center's predictions on Kelantan correlates with similar studies by Institute Darul Ehsan and Invoke Malaysia.
Why would caretaker prime minister want Kelantan for. His only aim is to make use of PAS Hadi and his blind followers to stay in power, So that he (MO1) can continue his merry making with his adorable Mama Rosie.
Anything under PAS Hadi will be a 'gone case'. Both Terengganu and Kedah were lost under his charge!!. PAS and Kelantan will be history after GE14.
Spiritual people grapple with the dilemma - do they prepare their children for life or for after life. For some there are no half measures. God comes first and last. Schooling for many is in religious schools which involves the intense study of scripture and some subjects for knowledge of living skills. Core subjects like languages, maths and science are not given the emphasis they get in normal schools. So post schooling many go on to colleges in the country or elsewhere to do degrees in Islamic Theology. Thereafter they look for jobs in organisations like Jakim. They are not equipped to do much else. Development of Kelantan by PAS governments has been slow. Much more needs to be done in Kelantan to make the state a more attractive investment destination. Which party is best equipped to do that ?
