• Parti Bersama Malaysia co-leader Rafizi Ramli said he has issued a campaigning “guideline” for the party’s 15 candidates.

  This follows backlash over Bersama’s Perling candidate Boo Wei Han’s speech on Sunday that criticised a ban against pig farming in Selangor.

  Speaking at a ceramah last night, Rafizi said the guide covers do’s and don’ts, as well as what Bersama’s message is and what they’re saying.

• PAS’ attempts to orchestrate a situation that would lead to a possible BN-Perikatan Nasional government in Johor show how the party lusts for power, said Amanah secretary-general Faiz Fadzil.

  

  “What PAS prioritises is power, not principles. They make friends for power, where religious arguments can be made up to sanction their goals.

  “It’s clear that PAS is desperate for power, when in fact, PAS has failed to table comprehensive economic policies to develop Johor,” he said in a statement today.
