KUALA LUMPUR, April 9 – The Barisan Nasional (BN) manifesto presented last Saturday had been drawn up carefully after a friendly survey and various efforts were carried out to get the feedback from all strata of society, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today. In his 1Malaysia blog, the Prime Minister said that the manifesto was not something that was created within one day merely to win the hearts of the voters in the coming general election.
“In fact, I personally have gone down on the ground to better understand all the issues and priorities of the people of all age groups, incomes, localities, races and religions.
“That is why the manifesto is realistic and comprehensive to suit the actual situation of the people currently,” he said. At the same time, Najib pointed out that the basis of the manifesto, which was described as ‘Our Pledges’ to the people, was an everlasting national stability and harmony.
He said all past incidents, experiences, mistakes and successes were taken as a lesson and used as a guide in continuing the trust entrusted and would be
carried out in the best manner possible. He said Malaysia’s successes in the various fields until today clearly proved the capability and performance of the BN in fulfilling the pledges made to the people earlier.
“Of course, there were inadequacies all the while, I acknowledge and apologise, but these further strengthen our resolve to correct them for the sake of Malaysia’s future. This time, we propose 17 key areas as our subsequent pledge and commitment,” he said.
As such, Najib humbly called on the people to have confidence in his leadership by giving their support and votes to his team, namely the BN and promised to continue the struggle by giving hope to the people to turn Malaysia into a more developed and prosperous nation. He also welcomed them to obtain a summary of the 17 main points contained in the BN manifesto which he announced before tens of thousands of BN members and supporters at the Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil two days ago.
He said a summary of the essence of the manifesto could be obtained from his blog, namely, www.1malaysia.com.my/manifesto/ while the full text of the manifesto could be read at www.manifestopru13.com.
