Election 2013: Muhyiddin highlights four crucial points to BN machinery
KUALA TERENGGANU, March 22 — Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today highlighted four crucial points to leaders and supporters of the Barisan Nasional(BN) in facing the upcoming 13th general election (GE).
He said they were considered vital to continue the struggle of the coalition after 56 years of independence.
He said in order to achieve this, every member of the BN must stress on the question of unity in the party, not cause any problems to the party, support the candidates picked by the party leadership, and finally, meet the voters who will be the deciders of the fate of the BN in the next five years.
“On unity among us, do not cause discord and cracks among us. To date, I have yet to hear of any, I hope there will not be stories on squabbles.
“The time has come for us to put aside such problems, because it will impact on us in getting the support from the people,” he said at a 1Malaysia People’s Gathering and “Blue Wave” campaign at Rhu Rendang in Marang, here, this evening.
He said the people surely would reject any problematic party or candidate because they needed parties and leaders who were strong to look after their welfare.
According to Muhyiddin, if the people knew the party had problems, they would say “you cannot even solve issues among yourselves, how are you to help us.”
Secondly, said Muhyiddin was candidates who had been picked by the party leadership from the division, state and headquarters, must be given full support from all BN members in the area.
“The most important is the question of candidates. The leadership have made their evaluation and this has taken a long time,” he said.
Muhyiddin also clarified that BN leaders who were open and transparent, had made an extraordinary consultations at division, state, headquarters and component party levels, would not only win but resoundingly.
Muhyiddin said all members of the BN must also not to create any problems at the crucial moments when facing the GE.
“Don’t cause problems, don’t cause new problems on the eve of the general election, which will be soon…don’t, issues have to be set aside, show our unity,” he said.
Finally, Muhyiddin said, all members of the BN, regardless of if they were leaders or just ordinary members, must go down and meet the people and voters because they were the “kings: during the general election season.
“To me, the voters are kings. When we meet the voters we shake hands with them, ask how they are and listen to their stories (problems) as best as possible to make them feel we are giving them attention,” he said.
Commenting on the “Blue Wave” campaign which was attended by more than 10,000 residents from around Marang, Muhyiddin said he could feel that the people’s support for the BN, especially in Terengganu, was getting stronger.
He said Malays, Chinese and Indians, who prior to this had supported the opposition, had now returned to the BN, and so did the people in Sabah and Sarawak. — Bernama
