Barisan chairman Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said Johor was very important for the coalition as it was the place where the struggle for modern Malaysia began.
Najib, who is on a one-day visit to the state, said he had come here to ensure that the Barisan fortress in Johor remained intact and that its strength was not undermined.
“Do not forget the history of the country. That is why we must defend Johor, the place where it all started for modern Malaysia.
“We are urging the people here to give Barisan the mandate because we know we are better than the other party. All that they have done is lie to the people, just like how they have lied to the people of Selangor for five years,” he said in his speech at a gathering in Pekan Nanas here yesterday.
