ALOR SETAR - The Central Pas Aidilfitri Open House did not state government funds, but party funds only.
Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor said, it is different from the Malaysia Madani Open House which uses certain ministry funds to organise the event in six states.
According to him, the event was held at the party premises to reduce costs besides saving money.
"We did not use the state government funds to organise the event. I want to inform the Prime Minister, we held a feast at the party premises using the party funds.
"It's not the ministry's money like theMadani's feast. Ministry allocations have to be allocated for the ministry, like the Prime Minister can use the allocation, but should not use it for party events, that's why I said it's a state election campaign, not an eid feast. I can use the state government money, but I did not ," he said.
He said this while speaking at the Central Pas Aidilfitri Open House at the Kedah Pas Complex in Kota Sarang Semut on Saturday.
Also present at the event was Pas Mursyidul Am Datuk Hashim Jasin, Pas deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, Bersatu secretary general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin, Gerakan president Datuk Dr Dominic Lau and Arau MP Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim.
Muhammad Sanusi said, leadership should be showcased apart from just saying things.
"What we say, we must do.We must set an example not say one thing, do another.
"My open house and the state government open house we did not say a word about the state elections, many still attended, (I) already know they want to vote for PN," he said.
In the meantime, Sanusi who is also the Central Pas elections director urged PN members to maintain their consistency ahead of the state elections
"Let us work as there are only 60 more days to face the state elections. What we have done in the state government so far is the best that we can do. Let us multiply what we have already done.
"We are contesting across all Kedah state assembly seats, I believe PH can win at most three seats," he said.
According to him, the Unity Government has shown disunity even though it has only been five months in office.
"Only five months and they are already fighting, words and actions are clashing, they are not walking the talk," he said.
