GTA to focus on young voters, says Dr M

Its founding chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad says this is because this group of voters may not be familiar with the current political situation.

GTA founding chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad said GTA would show that Pejuang would fight for the original struggle of Bersatu.
LANGKAWI:
Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA) will be focusing on young and new voters in its preparations for the 15th general election, said its founding chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Mahathir said this was because they might not be familiar with the current political situation.

“They (the GTA election machinery) will try to convince them that Pejuang are the fighters that will fight for the original struggle of Bersatu.

“We have found that they (young voters) are likely to follow their parents’ decision when voting,” he said at a news conference after meeting the Pejuang and GTA election machinery at the Langkawi MP’s service centre.

Meanwhile, the former prime minister said if it was true that there was a case against former attorney-general (AG) Tommy Thomas over allegations in his book, “My Story: Justice in the Wilderness”, any action taken should be based on the law.

On Oct 9, the Cabinet agreed to form a special task force to conduct a preliminary investigation into the claims made by the former AG in his book.
