KOTA BAHARU, Jan 3 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said this year would be the most opportune time for the people of Kelantan to return the Barisan Nasional (BN) to power in the state, if the general election were to be held then.
The deputy prime minister said it would be futile for the people to vote for PAS which was incapable of bringing development to Kelantan despite being given the opportunity to do so for the past 18 years that it was in power in the state.
"That is why if the general election is held this year, show that the Kelantan people want change," he said at a gathering with community leaders at the Kelantan Poverty Foundation (YKK) Complex here Thursday.
Present were his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Dr Awang Adek Hussin, Natural Resources and Environment Ministry Parliamentary Secretary Datuk Sazmi Miah and Kelantan Umno liaison chief Datuk Seri Annuar Musa.
Najib said that although Kelantan was under PAS rule, the state was not neglected by the BN federal government as proven when it allocated RM7.6 bilion to Kelantan under the Ninth Malaysia Plan.
"We have shown our sincerity to the Kelantan people and this allocation is to ensure that Kelantan continues to progress," he added.
