00:00A PKR leader claimed that Perikatan Nasional's tendency to play the race card and run a campaign
00:08centred around lies could have contributed to the opposition coalition's win at the
00:12Sungai Bakap by election.
00:15Nurul Izzah Anwar said it was disappointing that PN had resorted to such tactics to influence
00:21voters.
00:23The Pinang PKR chief, however, did not identify any particular incident to back her claim.
00:29Nurul Izzah said she took full responsibility for the defeat, adding that it was time for
00:34a full introspection.
00:36She said the party must strive to explain key issues such as welfare, education, infrastructure
00:42development and sustainable living that balances the needs of both Seberang Perai and the island.
00:48PN candidate Abidin Ismail of PAS was elected the new assemblyman for Sungai Bakap, retaining
00:54the seat for the party with a larger majority.
00:58Abidin polled 14,489 votes for a 4,267-vote majority over his PH opponent, Duhari Arifin
01:08of PKR, who obtained 10,222 votes.
