Only Barisan Nasional Is Capable Of Developing Malaysia - Taib Mahmud

Barisan Nasional (BN) is the only party in the country that has a proper plan to develop Malaysia, said Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud. He said the opposition have not made any preparations or plans to develop various facilities as carried out by BN, to ensure a more comfortable and prosperous lifestyle for the people. "I do not think PKR or DAP can do more than what BN had done. This is not being arrogant but only BN has the capability in the aspect of leadership or plans to reform and develop this country. "For example BN featured a large pool of experienced and capable candidates for the election to help and fend the people," he said at a 'Leader meet the People' session in Kota Samarahan, here, Tuesday. Also present was the candidate for Kota Samarahan Parliament seat, Rubiah Wang from Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) who is contesting on a BN ticket. Elaborating further, Taib said when the people give their votes to BN candidates, it meant they were also giving themselves an opportunity to move forward. "If we want progress, do not waste time (choosing other parties), choose BN right away as BN has the leaders who could develop Malaysia. "In Kota Samarahan, the people can see the change brought by the BN government in developing the Samarahan division with various infrastructure. In the past, the Samarahan district was considered a jinx area but today the district is a centre of academics as more universities will be built by the BN government," he said. According to him, he believed the residents of Kota Samarahan needed progress and would not stray from the wave of development in the country. At the ceremony, Taib also announced several allocations amounting to RM20,000 to upgrade the village community hall.
