KUALA TERENGGANU, April 7 (Bernama) — PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang said the party will campaign for the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) candidate for Hulu Selangor by-election on April 25.<\/p>\n
“I understand five names have been shortlisted as candidate for the by-election. PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will brief me next week,” he told reporters here on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Nomination for Hulu Selangor by-election was fixed on April 17 with polling on April 25.<\/p>\n
It was called following the death of Datuk Dr Zainal Abidin Ahmad of PKR on March 25.<\/p>\n
Zainal won the seat with majority of 198 votes beating Datuk G. Palanivel of BN at the 2008 general election. Hulu Selangor has 63,593 voters.<\/p>\n
Hadi also urged the government to clarify the appointment of international communication consultant APCO Worldwide as it had compromised national security.<\/p>\n
He proposed block voting to seek government clarification whether APCO was operated by Zionists or assisted in creating the 1Malaysia concept.<\/p>\n
Anwar urged the government to withdraw the contract with APCO and set up a royal commission to investigate the firm as it was a risk to national security.<\/p>\n
The APCO issue was raised by Anwar when referring to the motion by Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan (BN- Kota Belud) who wanted him to be referred to the Parliamentary Rights and Privileges Committee for claiming that the 1Malaysia concept was copied from the “One Israel” slogan.<\/p>\n
