KUALA TERENGGANU – Caretaker communications and multimedia minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa said that a truly stable government is needed to ensure the well-being of the people is protected as 2023 will not be an “ordinary” year and will be full of great challenges.
He said a huge challenge awaits those who will be elected in the 15th general election (GE15) as the new government will be formed during tough economic times.
“Because they will form a government when most countries are experiencing a large deficit due to the Covid-19 pandemic, (there will be) unexpected expenses that are not in the budget,” he told reporters after an event with Datuk Rozi Mamat, Barisan Nasional’s (BN) candidate for the Hulu Terengganu parliamentary seat, at Pulau Bahagia near here last night.
The Ketereh Umno division chief said if the government to be formed does not have the ability and experience, the country will experience a situation like the one after GE14, which will be detrimental to the people.
“I think only BN can offer stability and prosperity based on the experience it has, compared with other parties. BN has the complete package it needs to bring about stability and prosperity,” he said.
Annuar also reminded the BN machinery to redouble their efforts in the remaining campaign period and not to take other political parties lightly because there are many new challenges they must face.
“We are facing many factors that did not exist before, including a large number of young voters, the fact that people went through three governments…and Umno’s internal problems that need to be dealt with,” he added.
He said that all quarters should not be too confident of winning the polls as all parties can pose tough competition. – Bernama, November 12, 2022
