Annuar Raps Kit Siang Over Uneven Playing Field In Camerons

---

Umno secretary-general Annuar Musa has decried the claim that the Cameron Highlands by-election playing field is uneven, further alleging that the polls would see a “daylight robbery” by Pakatan Harapan
He said this in response to DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang, who said that it would be a "miracle" if Harapan wins the Jan 26 by-election
"Miracles? With opposition hands tied, accounts frozen, incumbent disqualified, (Election Commission) chief a political appointee, government machinery at Harapan's disposal, and 'political donations' by the millions…no way (will it be) a miracle YB (Lim), but it is going to be a daylight robbery!" Annuar tweeted
The issues raised by the Ketereh MP are similar to complaints by Harapan lawmakers when BN was in power
Lim, in a speech on New Year's eve, said that DAP would be the underdog in Cameron Highlands by-election
However, he was hopeful in saying that Malaysia is now in the "era of miracles" ever since Harapan ended Umno's 61-year rule
The Cameron Highlands by-election comes after the Election Court declared the seat vacant in its ruling that vote-buying had led to MIC vice-president C Sivarraajh’s win in GE14
MIC chose not to appeal the decision, and the EC later announced a fresh election, setting Jan 12 as nomination day and Jan 26 as polling day
Last week, the EC disqualified Sivarraajh from contesting or voting in polls for five years
In GE14, he won the seat in a five-cornered fight with 10,307 votes - just 597 more than Harapan candidate M Manogaran
