Support gave me strength to soldier on, says Mahdzir


ALOR STAR: Former Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid said he had thought of quitting politics after Barisan Nasional lost Kedah in the general election.
However, he decided against it out of respect for the support given by Barisan members while he was heading the state government and Pedu constituents who had voted him in for a second term.
“After Barisan lost the state, I did not leave my house for three days. I told my wife that since Kedah voters had rejected us, it is better for me to leave the political scene.
“Then I remembered the people who had supported me in Pedu. Their support had given me the strength to continue my political career,” he said in his speech during the Maulidur Rasul celebration in Felda Lubuk Merbau, about 60km from here yesterday.
Barisan won 14 state seats while the Opposition took the remaining 22 seats.
Mahdzir said as Pedu assemblyman and Kedah Barisan chairman he would work hard to strengthen the coalition so as to win back the state government.
He added that he would also make sure the state Barisan would become an effective Opposition.

tunku : you are a rejected person, majority of kedahan don't likes you. you have just became mb for 2 years and you lost kedah for the first time to the opposition.shame on you. you are right, the voters had rejected you and you should follow khir toyo's footstep.resign as kedah bn's chairman and concentrate in pedu only.if you are still the bn's chairman in kedah, i don't see that bn will win it back from pas comes the next election.

Madzir, Hang ni Melayu tapi cakap pun dah macam mamak Kedah,pusing2. Hang dah kalah satu negeri. Baik hang pi jaga Pedu aje. hang tak layak menerajui UMNO negeri Kedah. With losers like you leading us, no wonder UMNO is at its weakest. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND TAKE YOUR FACE ELSEWHERE!

Inilah adalah balasan Allah SWT kepada Madzir kerana melakukan onar kepada Tun Dr Mahathir.... masih tak sedaq kaa lagi wahai Madzir? hang patut letaq jawatan sebagai ketua perhubungan UMNO. Jadilah seseorang yang bermaruah seperti bekas MB Selangor yang terima tanggungjawab kelalahan UMNO dan BN. Kalau hang masih di sinun, jangan haraplah BN/UMNO akan menang sehinggalah hang mintak maaf dan ampun kepada ahli UMNO dan Tun Dr Mahathir!
