LAHAD DATU: Sabahans will
receive equal assistance, regardless of race, from the government if Pakatan
Rakyat (PR) wins the 13th general election. PR leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim
said this during a friendly ceremony with the people at Kampung Panji here
yesterday.
Anwar in his speech said PKR
wanted to defeat Barisan Nasional (BN) in the 13th general election.
He said if he led the
country, he would want a clean government without corruption, not practising
dirty politics, injustice, and abuse of power.
He also pledged that if PR
won in the coming election, he would reduce the oil price for the sake of the
people, reduce the prices of goods and give free education to all.
“The assistance given in
Budget 2013, such as BR1M, is an unhealthy programme undertaken by BN because
if they win the general election, they will increase taxes and prices of goods
to spin back the money.
“If I become the Prime
Minister, I’ll reduce the oil price, and I believe the country will not go
bankrupt if prices are reduced as the government under my leadership will not
practise dirty leadership,” he said.
Anwar said a collaboration
between Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) and PR will provide opportunities to
each other to compete in any parliamentary or assembly seats. For example, he
said if SAPP competed in Lahad Datu
area, PR would give the opportunity to them and would not compete in the area,
likewise SAPP.
Sabah PKR chief Ahmad Tamrin
Jaini, who was also present at the event, said he was confident that PR would
win in the 13th general election and defeat BN on condition that the people
must be brave to change. He said the Orange Book was for the Sabah people.
He also hoped Sabahans would
not provide any opportunities to BN in the general election.
Also present were Pakatan
Perubahan Sabah (PPS) leader Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Lajim Haji Ukin, Tawau
member of parliament Datuk Chua Soon Bui, chairman of Silam DAP Tajuldin A.R,
SAPP Chairman Silam Zone Shuaib Mutalib,
and several other opposition leaders. (BP)
