He said the mandate given by the people to continue helming the nation was a huge trust which must be carried out properly.
"We have made an undertaking to the people in our 13th general election (GE13) manifesto, which, God willing, we will carry out to the best of our ability.
"With the mandate too, the BN government will be able to continue its transformation efforts, and, God willing, we can achieve the aspiration of becoming a developed nation with high income by 2020," he said in a statement, here, today.
Congratulating Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who took his oath of office as Prime Minister today, he said the BN chairman had successfully led the coalition to victory in GE13.
"Indeed in the last four years, he had worked very hard by making great sacrifices to ensure BN wins.
"As such, it is appropriate that all BN members give a strong support to Datuk Seri Najib to continue helming the party and government," he said.
Muhyiddin, who also expressed his thanks to people on giving of mandate to enable the BN to govern the country for the next five years, said the outcome of the general election showed racial polarisation in the voting trend.
"This is unhealthy in a multi-racial society like Malaysia. We cannot allow one community supporting one side and another race supporting another," he said.
According to Muhyiddin, if it was allowed to continue it would lead to tension in inter-racial relations and political instability.
In this regard, Muhyiddin urged all quarters to look into themselves to together shape the future of national politics in the mould of a stronger inter-racial understanding, unity and cooperation.
He also urged the people to be together with the Prime Minister to create a Malaysia which was more united, prosperous and progressive.
The move was important because in seven years, all races regardless of religion must be of one heart to make national transformation successful to enable Malaysia to achieve its aim of becoming a developed, high income nation.
In the meantime, he appealed to all Malaysians regardless of race, religion and political ideology to reunite.
"Forget all disputes during the general election and treat them as part and parcel of the maturing democratic process which the people in our country are undergoing," he said.
Muhyiddin also urged the opposition to respect the decision of the people which had given the mandate to BN to head the nation and administer the states it had won, as BN respected and accepted the decision of the people in the states won by the opposition.
He also thanked the leaders of the component parties of BN, all BN machinery, supporters of the party and all quarters who had contributed to the victory of BN whether directly or indirectly. -- BERNAMA
