BN machinery: Don't be easily satisfied, continue campaign momentum - Salleh





KOTA MARUDU, May 5 (Bernama) -- Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak has reminded the Barisan Nasional (BN) party machinery not to be easily satisfied with their campaign success to win the hearts of the people so far but to continue the momentum to ensure BN's victory in the 14th General Election (GE14).

Salleh, who is also UMNO treasurer, said politics was not just about elections and campaigns but a struggle to defend the people's fate and not limited to a period of five years after winning the general polls and getting a mandate.

"With three days left to the GE14, the party machinery should continue to strengthen, consolidate and enhance the BN machinery to wrest back Matunggong (state seat), thereby garnering a big victory in Kota Marudu parliamentary seat.

"It is crucial we work together to safeguard the people, administer every corner well so that they become a stronghold for the people to continue voting for the BN on May 9 and in the future," he said.

Salleh said this when speaking at the meet-the-people session which was attended by over 1,500 BN supporters in the Matunggong multipurpose hall near here today.

Also present were Salleh's wife, Datin Seri Raya Erom; BN candidate for Kota Marudu parliamentary seat Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Johnity Ongkili; BN candidate for the Matunggong state seat Julita Mojungki; Kota Marudu UMNO division chief Datuk Wetrom Bahanda and former Matunggong assemblyman Datuk Jelani Hamdan.

Meanwhile, Salleh reminded the people not to be easily swayed by the irrational pledges of the opposition.
