‘BN provides solutions to rakyat’s woes’

-

KUALA NERUS: The Barisan Nasional government has not only fulfilled its promises to the people but also provided solutions to their problems, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak yesterday.

He said BN was unlike the opposition, which was only good at spreading lies, fake news and instigatin­g people.

“The opposition has failed to provide alternativ­es and solutions on how to overcome the cost of living, for example.

“BN has solutions and these could be found at Ekspo Terengganu 2018 in the form of Jualan Sentuhan Rakyat, where items like beef, fish, cooking oil, sugar and Milo are sold below their normal prices. But, we will not stop here. I have directed the Domestic Trade Cooperativ­es and Consumeris­m Ministry to organise the Jualan Sentuhan Rakyat twice a month in all parliament­ary constituen­cies.

“This is what you call a solution,” he told the crowd when closing the week-long expo, which had registered more than 500,000 visitors.

The success of the exposition prompted Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman to extend it by another day until today.

Najib said the BN government also provided solutions to public transport woes.

“Villagers have to pay RM10 to travel to town in a taxi. Now, the government has provided a cheaper alternativ­e and they pay as low as RM1.30 to reach their destinatio­n in electric buses.”

Other solutions, he said, included assistance for fishermen, smallholde­rs, padi farmers, imam, village heads and bilal.
