Zahid: Give mandate back to BN to continue development in Selangor

GE14 | Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has called on the people in Selangor to give their mandate to BN again to continue development began by the earlier leadership in the state.

Using paddy farming to show the situation in Selangor, he said the previous BN leaders had planted the paddy seeds, applied fertiliser and tilled the fields but the crop is now harvested by others.

The others Zahid said referred to the present Selangor state government under the leadership of PKR.

“Selangor's paddy crop was planted during the tenure of Muhammad Muhamad Taib (former menteri besar) but the crop was harvested by others who abandoned the field.

“...BN should take back Selangor. We must harvest the paddy we sow, we must sell the paddy we planted, do not let other harvest and sell and later claimed credit for the produce,” he said when speaking at a People's Session in Sabak Bernam today.

Also present were Sabak Bernam MP Mohd Fasiah Mohd Fakeh and Muhammad.

Zahid, who is also BN deputy chairperson, stressed that BN leaders are not seasonal leaders who appear when the paddy is ripening.

They are always ready to offer their services to the people at any time, he added.

In this regard, the deputy prime minister also expressed his appreciation of Muhammad as well as former BN Selangor leaders who served to develop the state.

He said a combination of old and new leaders is important to mobilise efforts to recapture Selangor in the coming 14th general election.

"Their era may have passed, but without them, we will not be here. When they were leaders, we supported them. In our era, they continued to support and assist us in mobilising the machinery.” he said.

On his going to the ground programme to Selangor today and at several locations before this, Zahid saw the strength of Selangor Umno and BN leadership under its chairperson Noh Omar at its best.
