LABIS, Jan 25 — The PAS campaign in Tenang made its first attack against Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Azahar Ibrahim, accusing the former land administrator of abuse of power while serving in the Segamat land office.
Johor PAS deputy chief Dzulkefly Ahmad claimed today that Azahar had caused a private land to be auctioned illegally in 2003 resulting in a legal action against the Umno man.
“It is unfortunate that Umno or the candidate has failed to share the facts with Tenang voters,” Dzulkefly told a press conference.
“The Umno candidate as the Segamat assistant land administrator had carelessly issued an order to sell off the property owned by Mansor Mohamad without his knowledge,” he added.
Dzulkefly said the land was auctioned in late 2003 for RM70,000.
“Based on the above facts, the question is why a candidate which has been proven by court to be reckless and negligent in discharging his public duties was nominated by Umno to represent the Tenang constituency,” said Dzulkefly.
Azahar was the Rengit assistant district officer when he resigned last week to enable him to contest in the January 30 by-election.
