PRK Nenggiri: Pemuda UMNO rangka strategi tarik undi golongan muda

TASEK GELUGOR: Pemuda UMNO sedang merangka strategi bagi memastikan undi golongan muda berpihak kepada Barisan Nasional (BN) pada Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK) Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Nenggiri akan datang.

Ketua Pemuda UMNO Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh berkata sayap UMNO itu akan berusaha sehabis baik untuk merampas semula kerusi DUN Nenggiri pada PRK terbabit.

"Pilihan raya ini mempunyai seribu satu kemungkinan. Hari ini kita boleh kalah, lusa boleh menang. Jadi, sudah tentu kita ada strategi kita yang tersendiri. Kita akan berusaha sehabis baik untuk merampas semula Nenggiri kerana sebelum ini pun kita kalah dengan hanya 800 majoriti, dan sebelum itu pun memang Nenggiri adalah kerusi UMNO," katanya kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan Persidangan Pemuda UMNO Bahagian Tasek Gelugor 2024 di sini hari ini.

Beliau berkata pihaknya sudah mengenal pasti calon daripada ahli Pemuda UMNO Kelantan yang boleh diketengahkan untuk mendapat sokongan penduduk setempat dan berkhidmat dengan baik.

Sebelum ini, Majlis Pimpinan Kerajaan Perpaduan bersetuju meletakkan calon BN pada PRK DUN Nenggiri di Kelantan.

Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya menetapkan hari penamaan calon dan pengundian awal PRK itu masing-masing pada 3 Ogos dan 13 Ogos manakala 17 Ogos sebagai hari mengundi.

Speaker DUN Kelantan Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah mengesahkan kerusi DUN Nenggiri dikosongkan berkuat kuasa 19 Jun lepas.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
