GEMAS, March 1 (Bernama) — Singer Datuk Siti Nurhaliza Tarudin has urged voters to think what is best for them and future generations comes polling day on March 8.

She also said: “Make the best decision based on what the government has given so that we can live comfortably and peacefully.”

She said this when persuaded by Taman Gemas Indah residents to make a speech when she came to watch Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate for the Gemas state seat Zainab Nasir conduct her campaign here today.

She and her businessman husband Datuk Khalid Mohd Jiwa were invited to the campaign by their personal friend Deputy Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor who is defending the Tampin parliamentary seat.

Her presence drew thousands of people including women and children of all ages and races to a small stall in Taman Gemas Indah.

The crowd jostled to shake hands with the artiste but Umno Youth members managed to maintain order by acting as security guards.

Siti Nurhaliza told reporters that it was a new experience for her.

She said that previously, such a big crowd happened only during concerts and she had never seen a similar situation in a political campaign.

She admitted that she got fired up seeing people gathering in political speeches but stressed that she did not intend to venture into politics.
