Lau blames ‘poor communication’ for PAS protest of his nomination FMTNews FMTEng
GEORGE TOWN: Gerakan president Dominic Lau blamed “poor communication” for the call by the Bayan Lepas PAS division to boycott the polls should he be fielded for the state seat.“We will provide an explanation to Penang PN,” he said at a press conference here.
Yesterday, Kosmo reported that the PAS division had threatened to give nomination day a miss if Lau was named as a candidate for the Malay-majority seat. It also threatened to shut down its operation centres. The seat had been contested by PAS since the 12th general election and voters, according to the report, were demanding for a Malay candidate.
Earlier today, Lau was named by PN secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin as the coalition’s candidate for Bayan Lepas, a day after the coalition’s 39 candidates for the state were unveiled. Lau, who is PN deputy chairman, said it would have gone against protocol if his candidacy had been announced by PN central committee member Ronald Kiandee.
