BN Policies Far Superior To Changes Proposed By Opposition - Muhyiddin

DUNGUN, Sept 20 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the policies introduced by the Barisan Nasional (BN) were far superior to the proposed changes promised by the opposition pact.

As such, he said, the people should support the BN government and guard against being influenced by the propaganda of the opposition.

"The government led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak always strives to improve facilities and raise the income of the people through various programmes to make the country a developed nation by 2020," he said at an Aidilfitri open house for the people at the Dewan Merdeka padang here.

Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said and Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob were also present at the reception attended by about 15,000 people.

Muhyiddin dismissed as empty promises the opposition pact's proposed major changes listed in its "Buku Jingga" (Orange Book). The book, among other things, spells out the opposition's agenda for the country in relation to the economy and social justice.

"Based on an analysis, implementing the proposals in the book will bankrupt the country in just two years," the deputy prime minister said.

Muhyiddin said the National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) of the government had the capacity to mould Malaysia into a developed nation by 2020, and called on government and private sector employees and the people to help achieve the noble intention.

"The prime minister has introduced various political and economic transformation programmes, the latest being the abolition of the Internal Security Act, in line with the government's desire to make Malaysia a developed nation," he said.

Muhyiddin said the government was sensitive to the needs and welfare of the people and always strived to improve their lives.

He said the opposition parties were incapable of doing what the BN government had done, was doing and would do for the people, and advised the people not to gamble away their future by supporting them.
