"Always in the dawn study, tabliq akbar dzuhur, evening studies, at stadiums, in mosques, fields, I still insert the order to participate in the democratic party, don't get involved, use the right to vote, don't be tempted by money politics, keep order to maintain security, that's our endeavor," UAS said in a statement quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, November 21.

Even though in the morning there are people who garden, cut rubber, cut palm oil, read Korans, pray at dawn, remember, use the right to vote according to their conscience in the direct, general, free, secret, honest and fair elections. If someone plays money politics, take the money, don't copy the person," said UAS.
