About 100 members of the Pasir Puteh Umno division performed a special prayer (sembahyang hajat) to seek god's protection and give victory to candidates from Umno and BN at the 13th general election.

Its head Zawawi Othman said, the prayer which was held last night was not intended to put a curse on PAS but to seek God's guidance in choosing Umno which had done much for Islam.

"This is different from the one PAS held in Kota Bharu last month seeking misfortune to befall Umno as what had happened to the Pharoahs of Egypt," he told reporters here, today.

Those who took part in the prayer were imams and officials from surrounding mosques, missionaries and mukim development supervisors especially those staying in the Limbungan state constituency in Pasir Puteh, Kelantan.

The imam for the prayer was Padang Pak Amat Mukim Mosque acting imam, Mohd Nor Jusoh.
