Grassroots leaders told to work hard to ensure BN candidates’ victory

KUANTAN: All party machinery at the grassroots’ level are urged to work hard to ensure victory to Barisan Nasional candidates nominated to contest in the 14th General Election (GE14) regardless of which component party they are from.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said that in the critical situation currently, this must be upheld by party members to ensure the BN continued to get the mandate to govern the country with a significant victory in the 14th General Election.

“In this critical period, every leader of the Village Development and Security Committee especially, must also be the eyes and ears of the state and federal governments besides giving the best service to the rakyat.

“Not to act in a manner as to cause hatred (against the government) but to act as a pacifier to bring pails of water to douse the fire,” he said.

He said this in his speech at the closing of the Eastern Zone Certificate Program on Infra UniKL Rural Governance at the Bukit Gambang Resort, here yesterday.

The event was also attended by Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

At the event, 600 participants received certificates for attending the program which was introduced for Chairmen of the Village Development and Security Committees (JKKK) and Federal JKKK (JKKP) and Orang Asli JKKK to uplift their integrity in leading and managing their respective villages. - Bernama
