PM dismisses Sarawak opposition manifesto as mere election promises

PEKAN, April 9 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today dismissed the Sarawak election manifesto of the opposition pact as mere election promises, unlike what he said was the ongoing infrastructure development of the Barisan Nasional (BN) government in that state.
He said the BN government's ongoing massive infrastructure development in Sarawak was not tied to the state election as it had been going on since last year.
"The opposition makes promises; it does not give guarantees. Our (the BN) manifesto is on ongoing efforts. The proof is in the implementation of the NKRA (National Key Result Area). We give preference to infrastructure development," he told reporters after opening the One-Stop Marketing Complex of the Pekan Automotive Industrial Park, here.
Najib, who is also BN chairman, was asked to comment on the opposition pact's "Jom Ubah Sarawak" (Let's Go for Change, Sarawak) manifesto for the state election, polling for which is on April 16.
The prime minister said the federal government was undertaking many infrastructure projects in Sarawak, and that it would be the biggest achievement yet of the BN government in terms of development of water, electricity and road projects as well as repair of houses and such.
