Campaign heats up

PORT DICKSON, Oct 8 (The Malaysian Insider) — As the Bagan Pinang campaign enters its final lap, PAS today claimed that its party workers have been assaulted, allegedly by Umno workers.

PAS vice-president Salahuddin Ayub said three of the party's operations centres in the constituency were surrounded by groups of bikers, some of them armed with sharp weapons.

Some of the cars owned by party officials were also damaged during the attack.

According to PKR supreme council member Badrul Hisham Shaharin, the party workers were forced to regroup at the main PAS operations centre at around 3am to prevent a similar attack.

“Before this Umno Youth had said they wanted to bring in members who have received commando-like training here, so it is clear this intention is to provoke us,” said Salahuddin, accusing the Malay nationalist party of being responsible for the attacks. - + selanjutnya
