KUALA LUMPUR – All Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties must put aside their internal problems to enable the coalition to form a strong government through the 15th general election (GE15).
BN chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said he was confident that once the internal issues were ironed out, BN will be able to win big in GE15.
“Put aside the interparty problems (in BN) as well as our differences and bring other friends (BN-friendly parties) together to win GE15,” he said when officiating MIC’s 75th Annual General Assembly at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre here, today.
Also present were BN treasurer-general Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and former MIC president Tun S. Samy Vellu.
Zahid said the people wanted a strong and stable government, asserting that based on BN’s track record in developing the country over seven decades, only the coalition can deliver on this.
Meanwhile, he assured MIC that the party’s traditional seats would not be contested by any BN-friendly party (Friends of BN) in the next general election.
The Umno president also said he would ensure that BN-friendly parties contesting in GE15 helped the coalition win the election.
Meanwhile, Zahid reminded all component parties not to be complacent with BN’s victory in the recent Melaka election.
He said BN’s landslide victory in the state polls demonstrates that the people wanted the coalition to return to power in GE15. – Bernama, December 12, 2021
