MIRI, Feb 21- The Sarawak Barisan Nasional (BN) will go all out to ensure that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will get a resounding mandate from the 13th general election to continue leading Malaysia, its Chief Minister and state BN chairman, Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud(pic) said here, last night.
He said Najib had made numerous visits to Sarawak since he assumed the nation’s premiership and understood the issues and aspirations of the multi-racial society in the state. Speaking at a Chinese New Year dinner gathering by Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) here, he said that he was confident Najib would be able to do better with his concept of 1Malaysia that promoted greater unity and progress should he be given a big mandate come this election. The Prime Minister was also present at the dinner.
“Whatever progress we achieve so far, whatever good we have been able to do for our state so far, will get greater reinforcement and greater support from the Federal government when you (Najib) become the prime minister,” he said. He said Malaysians could not afford to lose Najib who had shown that he was the best leader for the country.
SUPP president, Datuk Seri Peter Chin who also shared Taib’s sentiment said eventhough the GE13 was yet to be called, the oppositions were already in a dilemma to find the right person to lead them should they win. He said the opposition leaders were neither qualified nor havd the necessary experience to hold the premiership while not being open-minded and incapable of making correct decisions.
