"InsyaAllah, we will not resort to any provocation against our opponent.
"We also hope the same from them," he said.
Abidin said if he managed to retain the Sungai Bakap state seat, he would work for the people.
"Whatever the problems faced by the people, I will do my best to help them solve them," he said.
