They must not feel intimidated by certain quarters for they have the power to bring changes in the leadership, he said.

He stressed that driving licences and passports as identifications are not permissible.
“You must bring your identity cards, ” he said.
“Don’t allow anyone or anything distract you. Just go there and cast your vote,” he said, adding that one of the most powerful thing a rakyat can do is Vote.
Changes can only be made when the rakyat come out and make their choice accordingly, he said.
