ISKANDAR PUTERI: Johor Barisan Nasional will continue with its momentum from the state polls to help the coalition to form a government at the Federal level, says Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.
He added that the party’s machinery was already at its optimum level to face the 15th General Election (GE15) with nomination day set on Nov 5 and polling day on Nov 19.
"In Johor, the relationship among component parties such as Umno, MCA and MIC is very close and in terms of machinery, it is already at an optimum level," he said adding that he thanked and welcomed the announcement made by the Election Commission (EC) on GE15.
Onn Hafiz, who is also the Johor Barisan election operation director, said this when met after officiating the groundbreaking ceremony of South Korea global food company, SPC Group’s Paris Baguette first Halal manufacturing food hub at Nusajaya Tech Park here on Thursday (Oct 20).
He added that under the leadership of state Barisan chairman Datuk Seri Hasni Mohammad, its preparation had been carried out early.
"We want to continue the momentum from the state election to make Johor Barisan able to help in forming a government at the Federal level later on.
"Only Barisan, as a government, can guarantee stability and I do hope that the people can differentiate between a Pakatan Harapan led government that can only last for about 22 months and a Barisan government.
"We lost so much in the last four years and there are many things that need to be done to develop both the country and Johor.
"I guarantee that the only one that can provide a stable future is Barisan," he said.
