BINTULU: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Youth movement sees the Barisan Nasional (BN) manifesto as comprehensive and meets the spirit of 1Malaysia.
Its vice-chairman Pandi Suhaili said the focus is not only on one group.
“Among other things, the provision of basic goods and services at low prices is most welcome,” he said in a statement yesterday.
He added that many welcomed the pledge to give RM150 school aid per student and the 1Malaysia voucher scheme will help ease the financial burden of parents.
The increase of 1Malaysia People’s Aid (BR1M) to RM1,200 per family and RM600 per single person is good news for the target group.
Pandi said the BN government has reduced car prices by 20 to 30 per cent. It has increased the number of 1Malaysia clinics, 1Malaysia Care Centre, 1Malaysia People’s Shop and 1Malaysia products introduced at petrol stations and hypermarkets.
The manifesto covers other aspects such as health, economy, housing, transportation, education and security.
He also said that the promise to build roads along the 2,300 miles of Pan Borneo Highway from Sematan to Serudung Sabah is delighting the people of Sarawak and Sabah with prospects of increased mobility.
Pandi said the government increased women’s involvement in all fields.
“The need to pay attention to the needs of the younger generation has not been forgotten by the BN government. It aims to get young people ready to assume greater responsibility in the country’s leadership,” he said.
According to Pandi, Malaysia needs a strong and stable government to achieve all the promises in the manifesto.
“A strong government will be able to realise the effort to transform the country into a developed nation. We need to maintain what we have achieved, and should not gamble with our future,” he said.
Excellent track record should be the guide for people to choose a qualified party to form a government after the 13th general election.
He said experience in managing a multicultural society should be taken into account.
“Malaysians must choose moderates to be given the mandate to manage the country,” said Pandi.
Nomination is on April 20 (Saturday), polling on April 30 (Tuesday) and polling day on May 5.
