PORT DICKSON, Oct (Bernama) -- Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad, the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate in the Bagan Pinang by-election, Friday reminded voters in the state constituency not to repeat their mistake of opting for an Opposition member to be the member of parliament for Teluk Kemang in the last general election.
Bagan Pinang is one of five seats in the parliamentary constituency of Teluk Kemang.
Isa, who had been menteri besar of Negeri Sembilan for over two decades, said the Opposition MP (of Teluk Kemang) had proven to be unreliable.
"We should not vote on emotions. In the 2008 general election, many did not support the BN candidate purportedly because he was not a good candidate and opted for a person from the Opposition.
"What did they get in return, he can hardly be seen ...always missing. This should be a good lesson for us," he told reporters after receiving application forms to join Umno from 80 former members of Teluk Kemang PKR, here Friday.
Mohd Isa, who is also Teluk Kemang Umno chief, added that he was confident more PKR members would follow suit not only in Teluk Kemang but in other places as well as they had lost faith in their leadership.
Mohd Isa is pitted against PAS state commissioner Zulkefly Mohamad Omar in the by-election on Sunday.
