The Perikatan Nasional chairman added that his coalition is focused on solving bread and butter issues faced by the people, and not merely campaigning with race rhetoric.
Six states – Kedah, Penang, Kelantan, Terengganu, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan – are expected to hold their elections in July or August of this year. Kelantan was the first to dissolve its state assembly on Thursday.
He added that PN was ready to defend the three states it currently holds - Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah. Moreover, the Pagoh Member of Parliament added that PN is eyeing to wrest the states of Penang, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan. When asked to respond to accusations that PN would campaign using racial rhetoric to consolidate support among the Malay-Muslim majority, Mr Muhyiddin denied that this was the case.
“So it's not about race, religion, and royalty … Those are issues which we acknowledge have been mentioned many times in many elections but key to this election now in those six states is what we will do to help address that problem that people are facing today,” said Mr Muhyiddin.
