Putera MIC to Anwar: What ‘explosive’ info?

Putera MIC has urged PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim not to “mislead Malaysians on his so-called secrets or explosive information.”

Its coordinator P. Kamalanathan claimed Anwar had already lied once when he claimed that he would take over the federal government on Sept 16 last year.

Kamalanathan added that Anwar had also said that he would make an important announcement on Saturday night but now claims that he would do so on April 7, polling day for the three by-elections in Bukit Gantang, Bukit Selambau and Batang Ai.

“I hope the people, especially the electorate in Bukit Selambau, will see the true face of Anwar. He will make empty promises just to woo voters,” he said after leading a Putera MIC team to visit Indian voters in Sungai Getah here.

He said Barisan Nasional component parties had gone to the ground to inform people on the programmes and projects implemented by the ruling coalition and what it can do for them.

“PKR and its allies have only been good at talking but none had actually come out to list out their achievements over the past one year,” he said.
