BONGAWAN, April 23 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has described the coming general election as "not like any election" because it would determine the destiny of Sabah, as well as Malaysia.
Therefore, he said, it was vital for the people to ensure a big win for Barisan Nasional (BN) in the May 5 general election to enable the coalition to form a strong and stable government.
"Whether we want a peaceful, prosperous and independent Sabah, or the opposition, which has brought many situations of uncertainties which make us doubt their stand, we have to make a wise choice.
"Let us together, determine that the decision which we will make on May 5 will ascertain a government which is strong and stable.
"Datuk Seri Anifah Aman as foreign minister, knows that Malaysia is respected because we have a strong and stable government," he said in his speech at the meet-the-people session at Padang Bongawan near here Tuesday.
Najib, who is also BN chairman, said foreign heads of government, including US President Barack Obama, respected Malaysia because the country was seen as peaceful, stable and strong.
He said foreign investors also came to Malaysia "because they believe we have a stable and strong government".
"Our shares rise drastically because of the confidence in the existing government. When we are able to have more investments and increase the country's wealth, our shares rise, revenue increases and we give back to the people.
"We give the 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M) to the people. Not only BR1M 1, BR1M 2, but next year, BR1M 3 and 4, increase to RM500 for the people's well-being. This is the government for the people and the opposition wants to abolish BR1M.
"BR1M is better than reducing oil price. Reduction in oil price only benefits those who own big cars. It's the people who sell oil at the border who make profit, but by giving BR1M, all the people will benefit. This is BN government, we do what is best for the people," he added.
Najib said the federal government enjoyed good ties with the Sabah Government and praised Datuk Seri Musa Aman's leadership.
"I am impressed with his report card. The people should read it because it is the state government's success," he added.
He said sports facilities for the young people would be constructed in Kiwanis.
"Anifa said there is no bank, so we will have a Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) here," he added.
Najib said the people of Sabah, especially BN members, should unite and work hard to ensure victory for the coalition.
Meanwhile, Najib's visit to Kota Belud, where he was scheduled to arrive in a helicopter, had to be cancelled due to heavy rain.
The prime minister, who was scheduled to arrive in Kota Belud at 4pm, was only able to talk to scores of people who had gathered to welcome him, via telephone.
He expressed confidence in BN winning in Kota Belud and called on the BN machinery to work harder.
