PD POLLS | Former Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Mohd Isa Abdul Samad said he would not engage in character assassination against PKR president-elect Anwar Ibrahim in the Port Dickson by-election campaign.

Isa, who is contesting as an independent, said his campaign would focus on his past services to the constituents.

"If I want to make personal attacks against Anwar, I could tell his stories since 1998... everything is in my pocket, but it is not good.

"Furthermore, Anwar and I are old friends,” he told reporters after a walkabout in Kampung Arab and Air Meleleh today.

Isa said this when asked on attacks made against him by Pakatan Harapan leaders during a ceramah programme in Kampung Pitchitan yesterday.

The Port Dickson by-election will witness a seven-cornered fight between Anwar, Isa, PAS' Mohd Nazari Mokhtar and four other independents, including Anwar’s former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.
