Increasing Support For BN, Says Muhyiddin

HULU SELANGOR, April 22 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said support for the Barisan Nasional (BN) in the by-election for the Hulu Selangor parliamentary seat on Sunday has been increasing.

"I have been in Hulu Selangor for some time. I can see more people supporting the BN. Tonight, more than 500 people came," he said when speaking at the Johor Umno House in Batang Kali tonight.

Muhyiddin, however, said he was convinced that towards the last few days of the by-election there would be many negative stories being told and he called on the voters to realise that they were on the right track.

"What is important is to choose the candidate who represents a party with a clear sense of direction," he said.

The BN candidate, P. Kamalanathan will be challenged by Datuk Zaid Ibrahim from Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR).

According to Muhyiddin, after Sept 16, 2008, BN became stronger while the PKR led by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was disintegrating.

"The PKR is like an old building that is breaking down. I feel Anwar will soon be deserted and left alone," he added.

Anwar had boasted that he would form the new federal government as he had promised on Sept 16, 2008, but this never materialised.
