Vote based on achievements of party, not promises – Yusof
LAHAD DATU: People should vote based on achievements and credibility of the party, not based on the promises that may not be fulfilled.
Silam Umno head of division Datuk Mohd Yusof Apdal said people should be fair in making decisions to determine which party could help them and develop the country.
Yusof said Barisan Nasional (BN) was leading the government and the people had witnessed BN’s achievement and efforts to develop the country and its people.
He said the efforts undertaken by the government could be seen compared to the opposition who only talked.
“They only talk and make promises but do nothing for the people,” said Yusof, when met after his visit to four small islands in Pulau Sakar, yesterday.
Yusof, who is also Lahad Datu assemblyman, said unlike the opposition, BN leaders were always with the people and did not appear (only) during the election season.
He said every effort and service undertaken by the government were for the people as the government wanted the them to enjoy development and progress.
“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib and Chief Minister Tan Sri Musa Aman, the people in Sabah, including in Silam, can live in a better condition.
“The government is not only committed in increasing the level of security here, but also continuously channelling aid to ease the burden of the people,” he said.
Therefore, Yusof said people should continue to support the government which could guarantee a good life to the people.
During his visit, Yusof completed the opening ceremony of an open hall at SK Tanjung Paras and contributed RM10,000 to the SK Tanjung Paras Parents Teachers Association (PTA) to fix the leaking school ceiling and wiring works.
Yusof also presented contribution from the government and Welfare Department (JKM) to two families whose homes were destroyed by fire last month.
“The contribution given cannot replace what is lost but we hope it can ease their burden,” he added.
Meanwhile, one of the victims Abdul Hamid Abdul Isbat, 31, thanked the government for its concern.
He added that the aid certainly would help ease his burden.
