BUKIT MERTAJAM: Permatang Pauh Umno chief Zaidi Said said winning the Penanti, Permatang Pasir and Seberang Jaya state seats under the Permatang Pauh parliamentary constituency would be a “gift” for “beloved prime minister” Anwar Ibrahim.
“If (we) lose all these three (seats) in Permatang Pauh, where is our prime minister going to put his face? He loves Permatang Pauh very much,” said Zaidi in a ceramah for PH’s Seberang Jaya candidate Johari Kassim last night.
PH lost Permatang Pauh, once regarded a stronghold of Anwar’s family, in GE15 when Nurul Izzah Anwar lost the seat to PN’s Fawwaz Jan.
