GEORGE TOWN – Penang MPs from Barisan Nasional (BN) who win in the coming general election (GE15) will be monitored through report cards every three months to ensure they carry out their duties, said Penang BN chairman Datuk Musa Sheikh Fadzir.
“This initiative is to ensure that those elected are responsible for serving the community that has voted for them. Previously, there have been MPs who put their self-interests first and subsequently party-hopped.
“We also want to start this report card initiative so that the people know that the parliamentarians they vote for will go to the ground and do their duty,” he said after the presentation of candidate appointment letters to Penang BN’s parliamentary candidates here today.
He said with the report card, Penang BN hopes the MPs who win in GE15 will still visit their constituencies even if they live in Kuala Lumpur.
Regarding the coalition’s manifesto for Penang, Musa said the state manifesto has been completed but since the state assembly has not been dissolved, the coalition will use the central BN manifesto.
The Election Commission has set Saturday as nomination day, early voting on November 15, while polling day is on November 19. – Bernama, November 3, 2022
