KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 (Bernama) -- All Barisan Nasional (BN) component
party members, involved in collating information on the various
constituencies, are required to provide the actual information to
leaders so that appropriate strategies could be formulated for the
coming general election.
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said they were advised not to provide only information that were sweet to the ears of leaders because it would bring about negative effects to the party and country.
He was commenting on the statement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak yesterday reminding BN leaders not to implement programmes for self-satisfaction when they did not give an accurate political reading of a certain area thus jeopardising BN's effort to regain opposition-ruled states.
"This is a very important statement that we cannot bury our heads in the sand, with half-baked report merely to please the leader.
"Some leaders said all are ok, and sometimes the "ok" became "ko". The Prime Minister wants all party members involved directly to gather information to reflect the actual situation of the party," he told reporters after officiating a convention of the Malaysia Makkal Sakti Party at the Putra World Trade Centre here,Sunoday.
According to Muhyiddin, who is also the BN deputy chairman, BN has a system of grey, black and white to classify areas of their support to the party and government depending on the information collected.
"We have black, white and grey areas to categorise and gauge whether the area is strong, weak or uncertain. If it is no good, we will inform as no good.
"The information would be used to work out our strategies and as on. We have to speak the truth about ourselves," he said.
At the same media conference, Muhyiddin announced a series of briefings while talks would be held for BN members throughout country on the government's move to abolish the Internal Security Act as announced by the Prime Minister on Sept 15.
The programme would be activated with the assistance of the Ministry of Information, Communications and Culture after a BN Supreme Council which would be held soon.
