BN to continue developing Sabah, Sarawak - Ahmad Zahid





KIMANIS, April 23 (Bernama) -- The Barisan Nasional (BN) will continue to carry out its responsibility to develop Sabah and Sarawak if it is given the mandate once again in the 14th General Election (GE14), said Deputy Prime Minister Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He reiterated that only the BN could ensure the continuity of development and take care of the people, not only in the two states but also nationwide.

"We know the state administered by the opposition, is not more (progress) because the progress they have gained stemmed from BN.

"(So) don't be hoodwinked, distracted by such thoughts because the country still needs the BN, he said when speaking at the Kimanis Parliamentary constituency level gathering with Kimanis residents in Bongawan near here.

Ahmad Zahid said BN leaders had extraordinary resilience and were willing to sacrifice time to the ensure the people progress.

He said this was evident through the BN manifesto in the GE13 that has been successfully implemented almost 99.4 per cent.

"Meaning to say, all in the manifesto for the GE14 will be fully implemented by the BN (if it wins the election). We (BN) comprise all levels of the people, " he said.

Ahmad Zahid said ​​​​Najib has done everything for the people since helming the country and was confident the BN manifesto for the GE14 is not empty promises.

"The BN Manifesto (for GE14) focuses on the next five years. Not empty promises, not a 100-day pledge.

"When the prime minister was interviewed by the foreign media (after launching the manifesto), he said the opposition would not be able to fulfill all the pledges in their manifesto compared to the BN, " he added.
