GE14: BN machinery must be alert to last minute attacks by opposition - Zahid





KUALA KANGSAR, April 8 (Bernama) --The Barisan Nasional (BN) machinery must be alert to and be able to counter surprise last minute attacks by the opposition to bring down BN in the 14th general election, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He said each time there was an election, the opposition would resort to all kinds of attacks in trying to bring down BN candidates and the coalition.

"That is the reality, issues that never cropped up before, character assassination of candidates without any basis, will come to the fore, why? It is because the opposition will be looking for issues to weaken our spirit to bring down our candidates, to bring down the coalition (BN).

"I am reminding the (BN) machinery in Perak and all over the country to be prepared for these attacks. But with strong faith and fighting spirit, no matter how fast and furious these attacks come, we can neutralise them," he said at a 'meet-the-people session' with residents of Kuala Kangsar at Dewan Jubli Perak here today.

Ahmad Zahid said with strong solidarity and teamwork, BN would prevail.
