(TheStar) KUALA TERENGGANU: Four term Wakaf Mempelam assemblyman and state PAS treasurer Mohd Abdul Wahid Endot has been chosen by the party take on Barisan Nasional heavyweight Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh in the Kuala Terengganu by-election on Jan 17. The much-awaited announcement, made last night by Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, took many by surprise as even the PAS president said there was a “last-minute change”.

Abdul Hadi, who made the announcement at the packed Stadium Negeri in Batu Burok here, said it had been difficult to choose the PAS candidate, saying: “All of the ones we had in mind were highly capable people.”

In the end, he said, he made up his mind after adhering to the “Islamic methods”.

Thousands of PAS supporters, gathered at the stadium, broke into thunderous cheers when the announcement was made.

Party stalwarts, and leaders from DAP and PKR also attended the event.

Mohd Abdul Wahid, 52, is a four-term assemblyman, Kuala Terengganu PAS chief and state PAS treasurer. He is a Fisheries and Marine Science graduate from the Universiti Putra Malaysia.

His name had not even been on political observers’ list speculating about who would be the PAS candidate to face Wan Ahmad in the by-election.

Several names had come up including Batu Burok state assemblyman Dr Syed Azman Ahmad Nawawi, who is also the former Kuala Terengganu MP. Others were state PAS commissioner Datuk Mustafa Ali and his deputy Datuk Wan Muttalib Wan Embong.

It is learnt that some 72 PAS members had been tasked with obtaining feedback from the grassroots on whom they felt was the most appropriate candidate.

Views had also been sought from non-Malay voters.

The death of incumbent Datuk Razali Ismail of Barisan triggered the by-election.

Irrespective if you like it or not , i wants PAS to win the KT seat. Take this as a revenge on bn or at least to support DSAI . Support the Anti ISA movement.
At least PAS do not like to have the ISA. PAS people never label me as "Pendatang Anak Haram".
More Malaysian must understand Islam and what it is about.And what we see and listen in Malaysia are not really the real Islam. Do read Jeff Ooi's >>>http://www.jeffooi.com/2008/10/abu_dhabi_a_rude_culture_shock.php

He was elected since he established himself in KT even when all PAS leaders, MPs and DUNs in KT tumbled in 2004 including Dr Syed. In 2008, he increased his majority though as the single remaining DUN seat in KT held by PAS, MB Idris Jusoh has set his eyes to reclaim and started initiating programs in Wakaf, but Endut survived by increasing his majority. So, maybe they see him as the best pet. I hear that Dr Syed was rejected on the basis that he was once "rejected" by KT voters in 2004. UMNO would have told the KT voters: "YOu rejected him b4, why return him"? It would have proved useful. So, a man who established himself by winning the seat when UMNO snatched back the KT seat in 1995 from Semengat, and increased his majority during the Reformasi and retained his seat (when others failed) during Abdullah's euphoria in 2004 and again survived Idris Jusoh deliberate onslaught is somehow more established than all others and that's why he wa chosen!

Mohd Abdul Wahid Endot :

Whatever it is, a surprise! as a candidate for the KT by-election, we will still support PAS.

PAS is there to give a fight-for-political life against BN candidate, Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh who already has a record of tainted issues with the Monsoon Cup, Oil Royal and a proven ineffective Senator while with the Home Ministry.

Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh WILL NEVER support the abolition of ISA. KT 'rakyats' ........... Do you still need ISA for the State of Terengganu and Malaysia? If you do not ISA vote for PAS only.

Was that another stunt by Hadi? Did he gets the approval from PAS top ranking officials? Or, is this his personal opinion/choice just as when he said about DSAI before the Permatang Pauh by-election!

Anyway, he should fully disclose to PAS members the result of the so call "grassroot" feedback! We want to see the numbers!

Binarytan -- UMNO/BN have rule the nation for more than 50 yrs and their administration proweness is not getting better but worst. With PAS, even my educated 6th grade mother-inlaw knows theres no way they can impose islamic hudud laws or be more racist than UMNO/BN even if PR were to be the ruling power. What we need is a different govt to lead the nation. Even an inexperience PR govt is better than an experience crooked UMNO/BN. Let the people be the judge of PR and if they are really a bunch of boneheads, they can only be around for 5 yrs. Do we have that much to loose. Its also for your own good unless you rather preferred to be screwed by the devil who already knows how to do the C4 & saiful thing to U.

Gentleman and Ladies,
The choice is clear. Do not cloud the issue for the uninitiated. Between BN and Pas, Pas is definitely a better choice. Secondly, as MT has informed Pas cannot force hudud laws down the Malaysians throat. (so Hudud is a no issue, except for BN to fan our hatred to PAS...pls do not fall into that trap and make the issue big...it is a non issue..). Thirdly, if we have a 2 party system BN will do the check and balance for us...Pas will be put on check by UMNO too. So please vote Pas and move towards the 2 party system. KT is another nail in BN/Umno coffin. Make sure it happens. Don;t cloud the issue and lose our perspective.
Please.

If 1795 voters who voted for Pas and PKR candidates for DUN on March 8 had also voted Pas for the Kuala Trengganu Parliamentary seat, then Pas' Mohd Sabu would have won. Instead, 1076 of them gave the vote to the late Datuk Razali, 685 to granny Maimun and 34 spoiled the votes. This resulted in Razali winning by a majority of 628 votes. Perhaps they did so because Mohd Sabu is not a local man. Let's now hope that they will now give their votes to YB Abdul Wahid Endut.
Allahu Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allahu Akbar.
