Zambry: BN will stay with unity govt until end of mandate

“KUALA LUMPUR, May 19 — Barisan Nasional (BN) will continue to preserve understanding in the Unity Government until the end of the administration’s mandate to ensure national stability and the well-being of the people, said its secretary-general Datuk Seri Zambry Abd Kadir. He said BN is of the view that the understanding and basis for the formation of the Unity Government after the 15th general election (GE15) is the responsibility of the nation to prevent Malaysia from falling into prolonged political polemics. “The understanding was agreed upon until the mandate ends. Therefore, there is no question of Barisan Nasional betraying the Unity Government,” he said in a statement here, today. Touching on developments in Johor, Zambry said BN respects the stance voiced by the state’s BN regarding the direction and preparations for the upcoming state election. He said the stance was in line with the views of all parties in the Johor BN component parties. Last Saturday, Johor BN chairman Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi announced that the coalition would contest all 56 state assembly seats. — Bernama
