Its information chief Zein Isma Ismail said the first of the series, which will be held in nine districts, would be on Oct 17 in Lembah Jaya.
“During the series, we will include Tan Sri (Muhammad) who will share his experience during the time he was with the opposition.
“He also wants to remind voters, especially in Selangor, of the shortcomings of the opposition so that they will not vote wrongly in the coming general election,” he told a press conference here yesterday.
On Sept 17, Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is also Umno president, announced that Muhammad had returned to the party after quitting it and joining PAS in April 2013, then PKR in September 2015.
When asked if Muhammad still had the clout to convince the people, Zein said as the menteri besar of the state for 11 years and a former vice-president of Umno, as well as chairman of the Selangor Umno liaison committee for two terms, Muhammad was no ordinary person.
“When I was still in (Umno) Youth, he had done a lot and as menteri besar, he had done much for Selangor. So, he still has a lot of clout to influence not just the veteran voters but also the young ones to reject Pakatan Harapan in Selangor,” he said.
On a separate issue, Zein condemned the statement by Selangor Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali yesterday that the state government had approved the German food and beverage festival for several years as the organisers had complied with the conditions set by local authorities.
He said the statement showed that Azmin was not sensitive to the people of Selangor who were mostly Muslims.
“It is not logical for Mohamed Azmin to leave the decision to hold the festival completely to the local authorities… you are the head of the state government. This shows that he is subservient to DAP and that DAP controls everything.”
Last Monday, Inspector-General of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun said the police would stand by their decision not to allow the festival to be held at a shopping mall in Klang on Oct 12 and 13, following the possibility of attacks by militants over the event.
