Caretaker prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob is turning the tables on attacks that one vote for BN is one vote for Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Speaking at a BN get-together in Ayer Hitam in the Batu Pahat district of Johor today, Ismail Sabri said: "One vote for Pakatan Harapan is a vote for DAP.

"Even though Harapan's (Ayer Hitam candidate) is a Malay, behind him is DAP.

"One vote for Harapan is one vote for DAP. Don't fall for their trap. To stop DAP's rise we must defeat Harapan candidates everywhere."

Harapan is fielding DAP central committee member Sheikh Omar Bagharib Ali to face the Ayer Hitam incumbent MCA president Wee Ka Siong.
