Najib: Vote for a better Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR (May 3, 2013): Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak said yesterday the victor or loser of the 13th general election will not be the political parties, but the people.

"It is not Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Rakyat (that will win or lose). It will be Malaysia, its people and our children," he said in an open letter to Malaysians yesterday.

He said everyone should bear in mind that at the end of the day, what is decided and who are chosen will determine the future of the country.

"This election is about fulfilling promises, bringing hope and upholding trustworthiness. It should not be about empty promises, spreading lies and instigating hatred."

Appealing to the people to watch, listen and think carefully before deciding on the future of the country, he said:

"You and 13 million other Malaysians will soon decide which path our beloved nation will be taking in the next five years."

"Now you and I must decide what we would like the next five years to be," said the BN chairman, adding that it had been a challenging four years for the BN.

He said as the ruling party, BN has not had the liberty to be full time politicians.

"Amidst all the political clamouring, the BN government has had to continue running the government and ensure continued development of Malaysia and her people.

"It has been an uphill battle to say the least. But I am happy and proud to say that we have kept to our path of development and transformation," he said.

"Your support is paramount if we are to keep to our path of development, ....if we are to continue our journey towards complete transformation," he added.

Najib thanked Malaysians for their patience and support and reminded them to vote for a better Malaysia.

"Your vote should be a vote for Malaysia – a Malaysia that is developed and progressive....A Malaysia that is moving towards political, economic and social transformation.... A Malaysia where every single one of us will be truly proud to live the concept of 1Malaysia." he added.
