KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 25 — Parti Pejuang Tanah Air will not back any political coalitions in the upcoming Melaka snap poll, its chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today.
In a press conference, he said that Pejuang will not take part in the Melaka state elections as it deems it as another political ploy for politicians to lobby for important positions in the government instead of improving the state’s administration.
“We will not help any sides, we are completely neutral. Pejuang members will not go to Melaka to perform any speech in the state election,” he told the press.
“Pejuang will not take any part in the state election because we think that this is just another political game. We deem that these politicians are not serious about politics.
“We join politics to serve, develop and provide a better living standard for the people, but they join politics because they want positions,” he said, referring to politicians.
