KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 (Bernama) --The Barisan Nasional (BN) manifesto which offers various initiatives and encompasses people of all age groups will generate income and fair economic distribution, especially in rural areas.
MIC Youth chief Datuk Sivaarajh Chandran said small towns would be further developed with the addition of highways and the enhancement of the transport system around the city.
"It will enable more people to do business and create job opportunities that will boost the people's economy in the area," he said in a statement here today.
