SHAH ALAM (Jan 17): Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Najib Razak said today that voters from the country’s richest state must punish Pakatan Rakyat (PR) for failing to fulfil its promises in 2008.

 

The prime minister said he was confident that BN will administer Selangor better than the current state government if voted back in the next general election.

 

“Our objective is to recapture Selangor but it not for sake of power only. It is because I am confident and believe that we can provide better service and administer better than the current government led by the federal opposition,” he said in a 15-minute radio interview during the launch of Selangor Radio BN at Umno headquarters here.

 

Najib added the the state government has also cheated the people of Selangor through its lies and deception.

 

“If we look back recently there have been so many problems. Firstly, they have not fulfil their promises but instead broken them. I hate people who break promises. I believe the people of Selangor share the same sentiment because we all feel like we have been cheated. I hate people lying to me.

 

“I don’t know about others but I feel that all of us believe that people must hold fast to their promises. If BN is given the mandate by the rakyat, we will provide an administration that can really fulfil the people’s aspiration,” he said.

 

He said the people of Selangor must not allow the state to fall behind in the country’s development.

 

“Selangor is too important and strategic to the country. If the state is not line with the federal policy then we have problems like the current water shortage.

 

“If we don’t have the same government on both the state and federal levels then it will create many problems and eventually trouble the people and this will not benefit the country,” he said.

 

Selangor BN radio, an Internet radio, is available through its website SelangorBN.fm and has been operational since Nov 17 last year.

 

The station is a first for BN and features interviews with politicians and celebrities, and discussions on religion and health.

 

Najib said the internet radio station proves that the party is not static but ever changing to the demands of the people and modern day technology.

 

“With Radio BN, I hope it will become a very good medium for us to get our message across and at the same time allow us to get feedback from the people of Selangor.

 

“This platform will make our service to the people of Selangor better and more efficient. This new approach reflects the willingness of the party to change. If we always tell people to change then we must lead by example,” he said.

 

The radio will add another dimension to BN’s election machinery and indicates the prime minister’s believe in the power of internet and social media in attracting young voters.

 

According to the Ministery of Science, Technology and Innovation, as of July last year there are 25.3 million internet users in Malaysia or 89% of the Malaysia’s population. - fz.com
