"This shows the KDM support for BN has dwindled and this, if not handled properly, could lead to a worse scenario for the party in future elections."After careful assessment, we found that the opposition had used sensitive issues such as the Malaysian Constitution, the 20 Points, illegal immigrants and others."And when the word 'Allah' issue surfaced, we noticed that the churches began to despise BN with sentiments like one vote for BN is equivalent to one Bible being burnt, not realising that the Bibles seizure incident happened in Selangor, a Pakatan state."Therefore, I urge all party members to explain all the issues raised by the opposition so that the people will not be confused in future elections," he said.
