MASJID TANAH: More than 3,000 motorcycles took part in a Barisan Nasional convoy across the Tanjung Bidara state constituency on the final day of campaigning for the Melaka election today.
The convoy, held as part of a flash mob programme, was led by Melaka BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ab Rauf Yusoh, who is also the coalition’s candidate for the Tanjung Bidara seat.
Starting from the Kampung Pulau Polling District Centre (PDM) about 4pm, the convoy travelled to six PDMs across the constituency, including Lubok Redan, Pengkalan Balak and Pasir Gembur, before concluding about 5.30pm.
At each location, members of the public welcomed the convoy by waving BN flags and holding banners in support of Ab Rauf.
The same programme was also held across Melaka, with the participation of 7,000 motorcycles, it is understood.
Ab Rauf said youth groups and Wanita Umno had organised the programme as BN’s final campaign push to encourage voters to turn out on polling day tomorrow.
“More than 3,000 motorcycles joined me today.
“The reception along our journey through the contested state constituencies was very encouraging, particularly among young people,” he said.
Ab Rauf also urged voters to fulfil their responsibility by casting their ballots tomorrow.
“Do not forget to come out and vote tomorrow. Let us go together to fulfil our responsibility as Malaysians. Red pen, blue pen, vote blue, I love you,” he said.
