KUALA LUMPUR: The people should evaluate the development implemented and planned by the Barisan Nasional (BN) against promises made by the opposition, said Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
The deputy prime minister said the people should not resort to ditching their prosperity at the first sign of a greater fortune promised by the opposition even though it was still uncertain.
He said the opposition was only good at making half-baked offers and promises to the people, without taking into consideration the country’s future as they clamour to take over reins of the country.
“They are fond of making unreasonable and unwise promises in their pursuit of power. Our policy must be realistic and not only to garner votes,” he said when addressing non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Bandar Tun Razak here yesterday.
Muhyiddin said compared to the opposition, the BN government had a realistic vision in its quest to provide a better future for the people and the country.
Brushing aside the opposition’s call for the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loans to be scrapped if it comes to power, he said the proposal was not realistic as it did not take future planning into account.
Muhyiddin, who is also education minister, described it as purely a populist proposal to advance a political agenda to take over Putrajaya.
“We need a responsible and pro-people government which could see how to reduce and solve the problems faced by the people,” he said.
Later, at “An Evening With Deputy Prime Minister” event in Sungai Besi, Muhyiddin urged the people to join hands with the BN government in the strive to turn Malaysia into a developed country by 2020.
He said although various strategies had been formulated and implemented, the goal could only be achieved if all levels of the society work hand in hand with the government.
“Only eight years to go before our country becomes a developed and high-income country. Based on the progress, I am confident we will meet our target,” he said.
Asserting the government’s resolve to improve the standard of living of the people, he said: “If there are any shortcomings in terms of policy and so on, we will strive to improve them. We are not angels, but we have the determination and commitment.”
Urging the people not to be hoodwinked by the opposition’s promises, he liken them to “great offers during mega sales.”
On Kuala Lumpur’s development, Muhyiddin said the well-being and prosperity of the people should improve in tandem with the growth of the capital as it was a mirrow image of the country.
“What is most important, we want the development of Kuala Lumpur not only will generate value for the country, but also improves the well-being and prosperity of its dwellers,” he said. — Bernama
