(Bernama) -- Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad said he had not been promised any position in the state government if he were to win the Bagan Pinang state by-election on Oct 11.

He said position was not important to him as he wanted to serve the people in the constituency.

"I was not promised any position in the state government. I was only asked by the top leadership to be the BN candidate, and should I win, I will continue to serve as the elected representative for the people in my own village," he told reporters here, today.

He disclosed this when asked to comment on the media report whether he would be made a State Executive Councillor should he win the Bagan Pinang by-election.

Earlier, he and Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan had attended a Hari Raya gathering organised by the Malaysian Armed Forces Civilian Employees Union (Kesatria) and the Negeri Sembilan Defence Ministry Staff Club (Kakep NS), here.

Mohd Isa said this was the first time that he had intended to serve the people in the Bagan Pinang constituency, which was his home town.

"My intention is to continue serve the people in Bagan Pinang as their elected representative.

"I'm contesting merely to win the Bagan Pinang state seat, that's all...I wasn't promised anything," he said.

Meanwhile, when asked whether he would reshuffle the State Executive Council, Mohamad said the matter did not arise because the priority now was to ensure that the BN won in Bagan Pinang.

Isa - we know you don't want any position, YOU JUST WANT A LOT OF "DIRTY and CORRUPT" MONEY $$$$ to "distribute" to your "grassroots supporters"

We do not know what people promised you.

We want to know what you will promise to the BN people (not villagers) if you win.

By the way, why did you talk about it SUDDENLY? Anything amiss?

Bullshit, Isa. Heard it on the grapevine, and it's from a very reliable source, that UMNO is desperate for a win to boost grassroot morale. You happened to be at the right place, and they knew you could help win it, with the help of postal votes, without which Pas will have a better chance. And they also knew that you have deceived the simple BP folks for so many donkey years that these folks will give their votes to you. So a deal was struck despite your money politics and corruption in the past. Mohamad Hassan will have to give up his MB post in a reshuffle in Nov, which is next month, if you win, that is. It's no secret

I was not promised any position, says Mohd Isa, I have just been assured that I will be a kingmaking warlord, so no need any promises lah. When I master the technical art and science of C4 I will be assured the presidency, to represent the people whose values, image and greed I so aptly portray. So semua-nya OK lah!
Rasuah sayang eh!

Isa is an expendable item in UMNO. Make no mistake about it. Think about this: Win or Lose, it makes no difference to UMNO. Some may think its the beginning of the end for UMNO. Not entirely true. Don't forget they have their 2 Fixed Deposits across the South China Sea.

If Isa wins, UMNO will look good and they will trumpet its the start of a rejuvenation, rebirth, resurrection - what have you.

If Isa loses, UMNO will say, the rakyat rejected him because Isa couldn't clear his tainted name himself. Its also a warning shot across the bow from Najib to Tun M that Najib will continue to defy the old man even if it means making a decision which will damage UMNO (its called collateral damage). Najib wants to be free of the old man's barbs because he has unfinished business. He doesn't want to the way of ex-PM Badawi, being shot down by the old man.

Nothing is ever what it seems in Malaysian politics. Just watch the events over the next few days, the BN campaign isn't that hot....not like as if losing BP will sound the death knell for UMNO.

You still want a position?
You are crazy man.

I am sure you know what do if you win.
Topple the existing MB.
Capture his seat.
I am sure are good at it.
Money can do anything.
Just used your old trick, money politics.
Ok?

UMNO do not need any promises. He is telling the truth this ISA chappy.

UMNO demands and gets what it wants. Anybody who says and thinks otherwise are quickly dealt with by UMNO's vast range of weaponry: ISA, OSA, Police, Judiciary, AG, SPR, Army, C4 .... and sometimes just plain ringgit.

Malaysia truly Boleh.

Since you've been proven to be corrupt, the above words of yours are nothing less than you are complaining.
