Kota Kinabalu: Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders expressed confidence that the people will return the coalition as State Government in the coming general election.
Sabah BN Secretary Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan said so far there has been
no workable and tangible solution offered by the Pakatan Rakyat to the
people to deliver a better Malaysia.
A better Malaysia, for him, is not all about economic prosperity but
must be comprehensive, which is achievable only through the BN.
"Economic policy alone would not cut it without political stability," he said when met at Sri Gaya here, Wednesday.
Tourism, Culture and Environment Caretaker Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun
said the people are free to choose who they want as their
representative.
"But I am very confident that the BN will pass with flying colours," he said.
