Selangor voters should not view state election as experiment

SHAH ALAM, July 30 — Selangor Barisan Nasional (BN) has advised voters in the state to make the wise choice in choosing candidates from parties aligned to the Unity Government during the state election.

Its chairman Datuk Megat Zulkarnain Omardin said BN, together with its partner Pakatan Harapan, offered continued development and a better future to the people of Selangor, in line with its position as the ruling coalition at both Federal and state levels.

He said Malaysians cannot turn the state election into an experiment and think that the results would not impact the existing Federal government.

“Voters cannot allow the state government formed following the state election to be in opposition to the federal government as it would hinder important planned development for Selangor,” Megat Zulkarnain said.

He was speaking to the press after officiating an economic and entrepreneurial forum organised by the office of Senator Datuk Seri Zurainah Musa, together with government agencies and non-governmental organisations, at the SIRIM Berhad headquarters, earlier today.

Megat Zulkarnain, the BN candidate for Gombak Setia, said he is convinced Selangor voters are wise enough to assess the current political situation and realise every vote would determine a brighter future for the state.

He said the Selangor Harapan-BN five-year manifesto, set to be launched tomorrow, will promise something that benefits the state and its people, adding the current development and prosperity enjoyed today was due to Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari’s good administration based on the BN’s previous successes after Harapan took over the state government in 2008.

“With the combined depth of experience of BN and Harapan, I am sure our offer will be better and of more use to the people,” Megat Zulkarnain said.
