“InsyaAllah (God willing), if this (good turnout at Barisan Nasional events) happens we can win big provided that we can defend the seats that are already in our hands.” — Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak “Although it is at the tail end of the campaign, there is still work to do. In fact, this is a crucial time for us and we need to double or even triple our effort to get voters on our side.” — Barisan deputy chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi “People want elected representa­tives to serve them, a government that can perform its required duties. Barisan Nasional representa­tives are here to deliver. We are not here to just warm the seats.” — MCA president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai “We cannot stay in our comfort zone and must be motivated especially now that we have only ... days left of campaignin­g.” — Terengganu Barisan chief Datuk Seri Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman “There will be meet-the-people sessions, singing contests-cumceramah and also visits to various district polling centres. We are all in the last stretch now. I want to keep the momentum going.” — Perak MCA chairman Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon

“So far I have received reports that all our candidates are in high spirits and will continue campaignin­g until the last minute. We have also mobilised our machinery totalling about 100,000 statewide to identify all our ‘white’ voters to ensure these people vote for Barisan in GE14.” — Johor Barisan secretary Datuk Md Jais Sarday “The last lap is crucial before polling. This is the point where undecided voters will decide who they will vote for.” — Sabah STAR president Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan

“We are heading into the last few days and everything will be crucial. We want more people to come out to vote.” — DAP’s Ipoh Timur candidate Wong Kah Woh “I will be moving on the ground focusing on places with crowds until the last day of campaignin­g. It is going to be a tough fight, but we will soldier on and fight till the end.” — PSM’s Sungai Siput parliament­ary candidate Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj
