PETALING JAYA, Oct 8 (Bernama) -- PAS calling for the Bagan Pinang by-election to be postponed shows it has lost its direction and is "scraping the bottom of the barrel", said Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam.
Mohd Ali, who is also Melaka Chief Minister, said PAS was resorting to the action because it knew it could not win the by-election.
"Calling for a by-election to be postponed is unheard of. This just shows how desperate PAS is," he told reporters after opening the Restrees Kopitiam here Thursday.
PAS on Wednesday had asked the Election Commission to postpone the by-election claiming there was some duplication of voters names in the electoral roll.
The by-election, polling of which will be on Sunday, will see a straight fight between the Barisan Nasional's Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad, who is also former Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar, and Zulkefly Mohamad Omar, the Negeri Sembilan PAS Commissioner. It is called following the death of its assemblyman Azman Mohammad Noor, of the BN, on Sept 4.
