BN govt fair to all races

KOTA KINABALU, Nov 7 (New Sabah Times) --- The Barisan Nasional (BN) government will continue the practice of power-sharing and attend to the needs of all races fairly and equitably, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

He said the BN government would ensure that no single community or ethnic group would be left behind in the mainstream of development.

“As such, it is my hope that Parti Bersatu Sabah will continue to progress for the sake of strengthening the Barisan Nasional struggle,” he said in his message in conjunction with the 22nd PBS Annual General Assembly at the Dewan KDCA, near here on Nov 11.

Abdullah, who is also the BN chairman, said Malaysians were most fortunate as they could enjoy progress and development in a peaceful and stable environment.

“Through consensus, tolerance and cooperation between the people of various races and religions, we have built Malaysia into a united and developed nation. So, we must use the diversity as a strength to take the country to greater heights,” he said.

Abdullah also said the government had laid the foundation for future growth particularly through the National Mission and the Ninth Malaysia Plan.

He hoped the people of Sabah would enjoy the economic transformation once the Sabah Development Corridor was launched by year end.
