Barisan upholds role in unity govt


KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional 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, says its secretary-general Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.

He said Barisan is of the view that the understanding and basis for the formation of the unity government after the 15th General Election was 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 yesterday.

Meanwhile, on Johor, Zambry said Barisan respects the stance voiced by the state’s Barisan on the direction and preparations for the upcoming state election.

Last Saturday, Johor Barisan chairman Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi announced that the coalition would contest all 56 seats in the upcoming Johor state election.
