KUALA LUMPUR – Barisan Nasional must prioritise the voice of the grassroots to ensure the coalition remains relevant, said Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.

The pact treasurer-general, speaking to the press after a BN supreme council meeting here last night, said the fate of the coalition depends on this.

“The voice of supporters at the grassroots level should be given utmost consideration, as it will determine our fate as a political party.

“We should show leadership, sincerity, honesty in whatever we do, and prove it to the people, as in the end, it is the people who determine our rise and fall.”

MCA president Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong said the meeting was a regular one, and among the matters discussed were Budget 2021 and internal coalition issues.

“Among the issues raised were support for the Budget and how we want to strengthen BN... for it to be relevant and continue to be relevant.” – Bernama, November 24, 2020
