BN has the right to decide on the Merdeka Day theme because its founding members - Umno, MCA and MIC - and fought and won independence for the country, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Nazri Abdul Aziz said today.
"It is not PAS, although it was formed in 1951, or DAP, which was formed in 1969. Hence, it is only right for the three parties which formed the government to propose the theme," he said.
"The theme 'Janji ditepati' is not divisive as it only shows the BN government had fulfilled our promises since independence," he added.
Nazri, the MP for Padang Rengas, said the it was likely that the opposition was crying foul over the theme because they have failed to deliver their promises.
Among others, Nazri cited PAS’ failure to implement hudud law after proposing it for 22 years as examples of unfulfilled promises.
"For BN, we have delivered our promise and this is why we agree with (this theme)," he said.
