BN to stick with stability as Johor elections theme

Umno secretary-general Ahmad Maslan says the theme of stability had won the Melaka state elections for BN.

Umno secretary-general Ahmad Maslan said Umno and BN would deliver on its promises, unlike Pakatan Harapan.
JOHOR BAHRU:
Barisan Nasional (BN) will stick to stability as its theme for the Johor state elections on March 12, said Umno secretary-general Ahmad Maslan.

He said the theme of the BN election manifesto will be centred on Johor’s future stability.

“We are not keeping the future stability theme under wraps, as the theme of stability for prosperity had won the Melaka elections for BN. So for Johor, the theme (will be about) stability for the future,” he said when appearing as a guest on Bernama TV’s Suara Johor programme today.

Ahmad said BN was committed to making Johor into Malaysia’s most developed state under the leadership of Hasni Mohammad, who has been endorsed by the party to be nominated to be menteri besar again should the coalition win the Johor elections.

He hoped all 56 BN candidates would work hard and reach out to as many voters as possible.

“We want to tell youths out there that almost all of their aspirations and wishes for higher education and skills will be delivered by Umno and BN. Job opportunities, businesses, affordable housing… these are BN’s promises to all youths and the people. To ensure continued stability, we intend to transform rural areas into ‘extraordinary’ (areas),” said Ahmad, who is MP for Pontian.

On BN’s guarantee of fulfilling its manifesto, he said a BN-led government had never failed to deliver its election manifesto pledges.

“(Unlike) the manifesto from Pakatan Harapan which (then) also comprised Bersatu, many of their 10 main pledges in the 100-day manifesto went unfulfilled,” he said.
