MIRI, Feb 21 (Bernama) -- The real changes and progress taking place in Malaysia since independence proves that the country is in good hands when Barisan Nasional (BN) becomes the government, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
He said the excellent work done by BN had won the confidence of business people at home or abroad, to enable the country to continue developing under a progressive economy.
Speaking at a dinner in conjunction with the Chinese new year celebration here Wednesday night, he said BN has very clear and well laid-out plans via the implementation of specific projects with specific goals coupled by the people's confidence.
"You can have all the best plans in the world, but if the people don't have confidence in you, they will not make their investments."
He said Malaysia's success to achieve an overall economic growth rate of 5.6 percent last year as announced by Bank Negara Malaysia Wednesday was due to the increased investments and consumption taking place in the country, which were driven more through private sector's initiatives. Najib said the Malaysian government success in sealing an agreement with Singapore to develop a high speed rail link had also showed the neighbouring country's confidence in their future with Malaysia.
"No one would want to take long term ventures like this with us unless they are very confident with us," he said.
In the political context, he said the people would have to decide not only about what happened today but their future as well, by electing only the right people to govern the country.
"They must put in place the right people so that their future will be secured, rather than to gamble on people who can only bring uncertainty."
He said parties under Pakatan Rakyat had shown obvious differences in their struggle and would not be able to form a government that could secure the country's wellbeing.
Najib said the opposition could afford to have chaos among themselves due to the differences but would spell a disaster for Malaysia should they continue to do so when they form the government.
In contrast, he said, Barisan Nasional had proven that it could deliver real changes and progress in the country.
At the gathering, Najib announced that a secondary school and a primary school will be built in Tudan, in the northern part of the city, to meet the education needs of the growing population in the area.
He said the government would also build 500 houses under the People's Housing Program in Lambir, in the city's southern part, which would start soon.
His wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, Sarawak Chief Minister, Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud and Miri Member of Parliament and Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) president, Datuk Seri Peter Chin were among 5,000 people who attended the gathering hosted by SUPP.
