SUNGAI PETANI: PKR has announced that a “major surprise” is in store tonight which it claims will determine the outcome of the Bukit Selambau by-election.
Party information chief Tian Chua and strategic planning director Saifuddin Nasution Ismail told a joint press conference yesterday that PKR had something important to announce at a mammoth ceramah by its de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at Tye Seng Estate here.
Asked by the mass media about the “surprise,” Saifuddin said it would have a telling effect on the by-election, adding: “If the media misses it, be prepared to be scolded by your bosses.”
Saifuddin said the surprise was indirectly linked to the swearing-in of Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as the nation’s sixth Prime Minister yesterday.
Asked if the announcement would also create an impact on the Bukit Gantang and Batang Ai by-elections, Saifuddin said it remained to be seen.
He was evasive when asked if the announcement would be on speculation that former Bukit Selambau assemblyman V. Arumugam would return from a sabbatical in India to campaign for PKR or whether there were defections among Barisan Nasional representatives.
