00:00Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has warned federal officeholders not to use state election campaigns to attack unity government allies.
00:09Harian Metro reported that Anwar said ministers, deputy ministers and government agency officeholders may campaign on state issues but must
00:17exercise restraints to preserve relations at the federal level.
00:22Speaking after attending program Madani Kita in Ipoh, he said the reminder came after discussions with Deputy Prime Ministers Ahmad
00:29Zahid Hamidi and Fadila Youssof.
00:32He stressed that state elections must not become a platform to attack allies and warn all officeholders to maintain discipline.
00:40Anwar said anyone who ignores the directive and breaches the rules would be asked to step down from their government
00:47position.
00:48His remarks come as Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional prepare to face each other in the Negeri Semelan state election.
00:56BN is cooperating with the past-led Parikatan Nasional while BH is contesting all 36 state seats on its own.
01:04Earlier, BH youth leaders called on BN ministers and deputy ministers to resign from the cabinet, accusing the coalition of
01:12being two-faced over its cooperation with BN.
