Focus on improving the nation instead, says PKR.
PETALING JAYA: A grassroots PKR leader today slammed Barisan Nasional component parties for saying that the country will go bankrupt if Pakatan Rakyat came to power.
G Rajendran, the Malacca PKR vice-chairman, said as the ruling government, BN leaders should concentrate on improving and developing the nation instead of hurling baseless allegations at Pakatan at their ceramah.
In a press statement, the PKR man alleged that BN component parties were “threatening” the public with distorted facts and figures, claiming that the country will go bankrupt if Pakatan’s pre-election pledges were kept.
“They [BN leaders] have all the right to criticise Pakatan’s manifesto and election promises. But, they must ensure that the facts and figures are correct before coming out with such an allegation.”
“For example, PAS had led Kelantan for the past 20 years without assistance of the federal government. Kelantan is still better than Sabah, which is ruled by the BN. Sabah is the poorest state in the country,” he added.
He said if anyone were to look at the performance of Pakatan-led states, they would find that these states were doing much better than BN-held states in terms of economy.
“So, stop confusing the people with baseless claims,” Rajendran said.
He claimed that BN was making desparate attempts to foil Pakatan’s aim of taking over the federal government in the next general election.
“Remaining in power is BN’s top priority. It is a matter of dignity for them. So they would go to great lengths to cling on to power,” he said.
He also said ruling the country is not the sole right of the BN.
“Remember, BN did not spend money from its own pockets to construct Putrajaya. It was built on taxpayers’ money. Every Malaysian citizen has a right on Putrajaya,” he added.
Rajendran said the escalating national debt had made the people’s lives more difficult and while the rakyat are advised to be thrifty, the government spends billions of ringgit on unnecessary projects to enrich themselves and their cronies.
“Now the question is, who is going to bankrupt the country?”
