What BN leaders say\u2026<\/p>\n

AFTER POLLING DAY<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cThe rakyat wants a transparent government. I agree with them. The government must change the way they do things and change accordingly in the manner the rakyat wants. Barisan leaders must also be realistic and not be confident that the Sarawakians would continue to support the coalition. One thing is very clear. Barisan Nasional cannot go on like this.\u201d \u2013 Tan Sri George Chan, (former) Deputy Chief Minister and SUPP President<\/p>\n

DURING POLLING DAY<\/p>\n

\u201cSUPP may win nine or 10 seats out of the 19 we are contesting. There is hope because there are positive indications that several of our seats that were considered black had become grey. If these voters have not made up their minds yet and if they don\u2019t allow emotions to control their votes, it would be to our advantage. We still have hope.\u201d \u2013 Tan Sri George Chan<\/p>\n

A DAY BEFORE THE POLL<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cThey (DAP) keep criticising me. I\u2019m fed up with the DAP. They don\u2019t give the people the bigger picture. When I took over the chief ministership, about 60km of roads were built in a year, now it is 500km. When I took over, there were no universities, now there are five. I have helped so many local companies become big, so that our jobs can stay in Sarawak, not be given to outsiders.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am telling you now that there will be no one to take care of you if this (opposition government) happens. The good government policy under my time should be continued or else all of you are going to lose everything.\u201d \u2013 Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, Sarawak Chief Minister and PBB President<\/p>\n

\u201cBarisan has never done that (vote buying). I don\u2019t know about the opposition. Maybe if they are desperate, they will buy votes. I don\u2019t know and will not make any accusation. But for Barisan, we work according to the rules. We have never violated the law.\u201d \u2013 Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, Deputy Prime Minister<\/p>\n

DURING THE CAMPAIGN<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople should not be swept away by the Opposition\u2019s promises and battle cry for change. What change are they barking about? To vote for them is to vote for instability and this is the change they are talking about. It is about our future. Choose genuine stuff and not the cheap glass that poses as diamonds.\u201d \u2013 Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cOnly Barisan Nasional could bring transformation to Sarawak. This is the difference from what the Opposition says. They can only promise but a promise to deliver is no guarantee that it will be done. Barisan not only promises but we can deliver and we have delivered.\u201d Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Prime Minister
\n\u201cThe word is transformation, which is bigger than change. It takes transformation to enable the country become a developed nation. This is because transformation covers all facets of development. Their (opposition) short theme \u2013 \u2018ubah\u2019 or change is nothing more than an ancient word. And there is nothing great or grand in their manifesto. When they talk about change \u2013 is it for the good or bad? Nobody knows but they can promise you the moon and stars.\u201d \u2013 Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin<\/p>\n

BEFORE NOMINATION DAY<\/p>\n

\u201cThey (BN leaders) believe that come the next general election they would be much better off than 2008 and I believe the trend will also be the same in East Malaysia. I believe the tsunami has come and left.\u201d \u2013 Datuk Wira Chor Chee Heung, Minister of Housing and Local Government and MCA vice-president<\/p>\n

\u201cI am captivated by the pledge of Rela members to be loyal to the government at the oath-taking ceremony. Thus, Rela members must walk the talk and serve the government with utmost good faith and loyalty…Rela must fully support the BN candidates\u2026\u201d \u2013 Wilson Nyabong Ijang, Political Secretary to the Sarawak Chief Minister<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
