Muhyiddin Hopes Voters Will Translate Support Into Votes For BN

JASIN, March 5 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has expressed gratitude to the people of Merlimau, here, and Kerdau in Pahang for showing good response to the Barisan Nasional (BN) campaign for the two by-elections tomorrow.
He said the strong support by the people showed that the voters were receptive of the BN's campaign.
Come tomorrow, it would be time for them to translate that support and vote for the BN, he said.
"We can feel a new sense of confidence. The response is good and they are ready to cast their votes; this is certainly good for the BN," he told reporters after attending a get-together with Jasin farmers and fishermen here.
Muhyiddin, who is Umno deputy president, also hoped that the voters would turn up in huge number tomorrow.
The BN is locked in straight fights with PAS in both by-elections.
In Merlimau, BN's Roslan Ahmad is up against PAS' Yuhaizad Abdullah while in Kerdau, the contest is between BN's Syed Ibrahim Syed Ahmad and PAS' Hassanuddin Salim.
Muhyiddin also said that the government would take actions, if necessary, against those who resorted to instigating the people into revolting against the government.
"We will take stern actions to prevent this from threatening the country's security," he said.
He added that the people should not let themselves be instigated by opposition leaders, whom he said, did not care about the country's stability as long as they were able to achieve their political objectives.
"These are things we should not view lightly," he said.
Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin yesterday warned the opposition not to play with fire by instigating the people to topple the government, similar to the uprising taking place in some Middle Eastern countries.
