JERLUN, Sept 8 (Bernama) -- Barisan Nasional (BN) will not make any
promises it cannot fulfilled, says Kedah Umno liaison deputy chief Datuk
Mukhriz Mahathir.
He said all that were written in the BN general election manifesto would be regarded as promises to the people that must be fulfilled for their benefit.
"We dare not make any promises that we know we cannot implement. So, we will not promise the people heaven and the moon and stars because all this is determined by Allah.
"But what we promise, we will fulfilled. That, we can guarantee and I think the people could already see this.
"It's different with the opposition. They say the manifesto they made was not a promise but only a suggestion. That is why they have not been serious about implementing all that were written in their manifesto in the last general election.
"Since they have said that, what can we (people) hope from them?" he said after opening the Jerlun Wanita Umno delegates' meeting at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Permatang Bonglai, here, Friday.
Mukhriz said the opposition's plans such as that made by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Strategy director Mohd Rafizi Ramli to reduce the price of cars if the opposition managed to capture Putrajaya in the 13th general manager was populist in nature.
"Their promises to abolish the PTPTN loans and toll are also populist policies. They want to abolish everything but is this sound financial management? And they have never explained where the money would come from."
Mukhriz who is also International Trade and Industry Deputy Minister, said the opposition was only good at making suggestions but never thought about how to realise those suggestions.
