MELAKA: Barisan Nasional deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan is confident that support for the coalition among non-Malay voters in the state election will increase compared with the previous two state elections.
He said his confidence was based on the positive trend in support for BN and Perikatan Nasional during their election campaigns in other states.
“If we look at the trend in support from Johor to Negri Sembilan, it has shown a clear improvement and has been very encouraging.
“We hope to see the same level of support in Melaka.
“However, I want to reiterate that the campaign machinery must work hard to reach out to voters and convince them to support BN and PN candidates.
“We must strengthen cooperation and understanding between the respective campaign machinery to ensure there are no opportunities for the opposition to exploit,” he said after meeting members of the Durian Tunggal community here today.
Also present was BN candidate for Durian Tunggal Datuk Dr Mustafa Musa.
Mohamad said that with only two days remaining in the campaign, BN’s machinery must continue engaging with voters until the final hours to ensure they turned out to vote on Nov 14.
“On Nov 14, the most important thing is to ensure their support is translated into votes.
“As I mentioned earlier, with the rainy season now underway and rain usually falling in the afternoons, I want the campaign machinery to bring out as many identified voters as possible to fulfil their responsibility to vote.
“As of today, cooperation between BN and PN machinery in areas contested by BN has been very good,” he said.
