PORT DICKSON, Oct 6 — The people should take note of Kelantan as an example of PAS’ inability to govern a state despite 20 years in power as compared to the impressive track record of the Barisan Nasional (BN), said Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
He said the BN leadership was a proven one as it had brought Malaysia to be among the most developed states in the world in its over 50 years in power.
“If we go to Kelantan, we will be able to see how backward the state governed by PAS is. It also among the poorest states in the country,” he said at a 1 Malaysia Aidilfitri celebration in Bandar Sunggala here tonight.
He said, in the Manik Urai by-election held recently in the state, the BN almost won and this was proof the people of Kelantan were disappointed in PAS, which purportedly wanted to make Kelantan a progressive Islamic state and called it the “Corridor of Mecca”.
Instead, it was an example of poverty and backwardness and this was sufficient proof why the people should choose a party that had the right track record to lead them, he added.
Muhyiddin said other parties may claim to be in a pact but they had no experience in governing and in fact were always quarrelling amongst themselves.
“I won’t be surprised if Selangor (governed by the Opposition coalition of the DAP-PAS-PKR) gets left behind next and that is why we want to tell the voters in this by-election (Bagan Pinang by-election on Oct 11) that this is a good opportunity to show others that the BN’s policies are still relevant and accepted by the people at large,” he said.
He said that although it was only a by-election, it was significant to prove to the world that the people were firmly behind the BN and Umno. — Bernama

Oh you mean the Federal Government stealing the Kelantanese oil and not compensating them for it has nothing to do with it?

we are not stupid, that's why we want to change you and your kind

If Kelantan remains backward, its because of lack of funds due to the UMNO led Federal Goverment spiteful doings & intentions.

Yes, when we compare with some of the poorest African states such as Zimbabwe. But when we compare with the rest of Asia? Malaysia, for your information, Mr. Muhyiddin, is proof of UMNO's inability to covern a nation.

not as you said...PAS incapable to govern...
in fact, i see 52years Alliance/BN failed to move the country ahead and keep in pace on competition and Rakyat's wealth/health.
If PAS deems incapable to rule Kelantan, does BN capable to, if they also failed for a country?

let me tell you that notwithstanding who runs the state
the federal govt is dutibound to ensure the rakyat is comfortable
we are your boss
and know that Malaysia covers all the states and if Malaysia prospers
every one should benefit and every state too
this is what you most probably do not comprehend
dat's why you must go the whole jing bang lot

He also quoted Manek Urai where UMNO lost. Even if UMNO has run out of election issue, at least don't make a fool of yourself and UMNO. Where is the relevance in what he said?
If PAS wins Bagan Pinang, is PAS taking over the Negeri Sembilan state government? So, Kelantan and Manek Urai are non issue here.
Isa is the real issue. Proven guilty of corruption and his 22 yrs as MB brought so many outstanding failure which Isa now wants to put right if elected. How laughable when he cannot put right as MB, now want to put right as a state assemblymen. Why a liar, what a liar.
Only fools will be taken in by Isa and UMNO.

This is the style of UMNO, including the DPM. They do not conduct any research before they open their mouth. The more they talk, the more they loose credibility.
He must be thinking Malaysians are a bunch of fools.

a federal govt looks after the affairs of all states in the country
irrespective of who is ruling
if a state falls behind when the country prospers
then something is terribly wrong
hence if kuantan lags and the other states have it all
the main party also takes the blame
in your governance you cant isolate any state
perhaps you cannot fathom what I am at
as I too dont comprehend the lot of you when you open your mouths

What did UMNO do during those 12 years? Nuthing. If PAS didnt bring any development as all, which is a blatant lies, the backwardness as Muhyidin said is actually what UMNO left then after 12 years in power.

by the way, sabah and sarawak under BN also got a lot people suffering meeting daily need, and the long time penan girl being raped case. and at the sametime if development mean some cronies get super richers while the poor get poorer, that kind of development is uncalled for

The Kelantan people have a soul and a heart which UMNO lacks altogether. The Kelantan people knows that its funds were frozen out by BN.
The Kelantan people knows that it is better to be poor and yet, walk with their heads high.
That is the huge difference which UMNO still hasn't grasp.

almost only but never right ??
" Kelantan as an example of PAS’ inability to govern a state despite 20 years in power as compared to the impressive track record of the Barisan Nasional (BN)"
Because BN did not want to allocate fund for development to the state they lost. They selectively develop the states at their will. Your 20 years of inability to win Kelantan shows that people never likes you and BN. That's simple.

pasti jika tanpa sekatan dan ketelusan pemberian royalti, pasti negeri kelantanlah yang paling maju berbanding negeri-negeri lain dan kelantan jugalah akan membantu negeri-negeri lain kerana kepimpinan dan pentadbiran mengamalkan dasar Ubudiyah, Masuliyah dan Itqan untuk RAKYAT..SEDARlh..ini bukan omong-omong kosong...

SATU LAGI PROJEK BARISAN NASIONAL!!! ===Tak boleh pakai punya.
In Bentong, there was once a 4-storey Car Park Building which was built by BN with a cost of RM3.2 millions, but upon its completion it was ZERO USAGE. The workmanship and design of the building was lousy and not up to standard. A few months ago, it had to be torn down. The demolition cost was RM60,000. Now on same land "they" wanted to build a commercial centre which will cost another RM10millions. Read the Sin Chew Jit Poh on East coast column, the news are all there. You won't find them in Malay and English newspaper.
So, in the name of development, rakyat money was wasted and all gone to drain due to "mismanagement", "flaw in design", or even corruption...
No point of develop something that "indah dari rupa"with a dirty hands.....
