KUALA LUMPUR, May 4 – Prime Minister and Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has written an open letter addressed to every Malaysian eligible to vote in the 13th General Election on Sunday. Following is the letter:
My dear fellow Malaysian,
I know you must be tired. Tired of all the politicking that has been taking place in our country. So, at the outset, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for bearing with us and for putting up with the constant messaging and appeals that have come your way.
Our country is at a crossroads – you and 13 million other Malaysians will soon decide which path our beloved nation will be taking in the next five years. It has been a challenging four years for us and, now, you and I must decide what we would like the next five years to be.
As the ruling party, we have not had the liberty to be full-time politicians. Amidst all the political clamouring, the BN Government has had to continue running the Government and ensuring continued development of Malaysia and her people.
It has been an uphill battle, to say the least. But I am happy and proud to say that we have kept to our path of development and transformation. Your support is paramount if we are to keep to our path of development, if we are to continue our journey towards complete transformation.
This election is about fulfilling promises, bringing hope and upholding trustworthiness. It should not be about empty promises, spreading lies and instigating hatred. I appeal to you to watch, listen and think carefully, before deciding on the future of the country.
We must always bear in mind that, at the end of the day, what we decide and who we support will determine the future of our beloved Malaysia. The victor or
loser of this 13th General Election will not be BN or PR. It will be Malaysia, its people and our children. Your vote should be a vote for Malaysia – a Malaysia that is developed and progressive. A Malaysia that is moving towards political, economic and social transformation. A Malaysia where every single one of us will be truly proud to live the concept of 1Malaysia.
Yours sincerely,
Najib Razak
Chairman Barisan Nasional
