Kedah BN is confident of fulfilling its manifesto
ALOR SETAR, April 20 (Bernama) -- Kedah Barisan Nasional (BN) is confident of implementing 100 per cent of what has been contained in its manifesto for the 14th General Election (GE14) over the next five years.
Its chairman, Datuk Seri Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah said the confidence was based on the achievement of the Kedah state government in fulfilling 97.6 per cent of state BN's manifesto in the GE13.
"We do not promise the moon and stars and other things that we cannot deliver. We do not lie to the people and in fact, what we do is realistic and achievable," he told a press conference after launching the Kedah BN Manifesto here tonight.
Also present were Kedah BN deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid, State Gerakan chairman Datuk Dr Cheah Soon Hai, Kedah MCA chairman Datuk Lee Chee Leong and State MIC chairman Datuk Jaspal Singh.
Ahmad Bashah, who is also the caretaker menteri besar, said in addition to the state BN manifesto, all 15 parliamentary constituencies in Kedah would also come out with their own manifesto to complement the one released by the state and federal BN.
Themed 'Continuing Development, Propelling Dreams', the Kedah BN manifesto contained seven special clusters which comprised the RM55.1 billion worth of high impact projects, people well-being livelihood programmes (RM2.7 billion), infra and utility (RM6.5 billion), tourism (RM60 million), education and human capital (RM14 million), religious (RM581 million) and youths (RM238 million).
