SHAH ALAM – Selangor Barisan Nasional (BN) has advised voters in the state to choose wisely from candidates from parties aligned to the unity government during the state election.

Its chairman Datuk Megat Zulkarnain Omardin said BN and its partner Pakatan Harapan (PH) offer continued development and a better future to Selangor’s people in line with their positions in the ruling coalition at both federal and state levels.

He said Malaysians cannot turn the state election into an experiment and think that the results will not impact the existing federal government.

“Voters cannot allow the state government formed following the state election to be in opposition to the federal government as it would hinder important planned development for Selangor,” he told reporters after officiating an economic and entrepreneurial forum organised by the office of Senator Datuk Seri Zurainah Musa, together with government agencies and non-governmental organisations at the Sirim Bhd headquarters here today.

Megat, the BN candidate for Gombak Setia, said he is convinced Selangor voters are wise enough to assess the current political situation and realise every vote determines a brighter future for the state.

He added that the Selangor PH-BN five-year manifesto, set to be launched tomorrow, would promise something that benefits the state and its people, adding that the current development and prosperity enjoyed today was due to Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari’s good administration, based on BN’s previous successes, after PH took over the state government in 2008.

“With the combined depth of experience of BN and PH, I’m sure our offer will be better and of more use to the people,” he said. – Bernama, July 30, 2023
