The Prime Minister said the development agenda cannot be completed in a short time as it needs strategic planning by the Federal and state governments. "Therefore, it is important for the people of Sarawak to continue their support for BN in the state election, especially Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem. Give him the mandate to continue the development. "Sarawak will 'sit at the same level or rise at the same level' with Peninsula Malaysia. I am therefore, committed to approve various allocations and mega development projects like the Pan Borneo Highway," he said after visiting Sekolah Kebangsaan St Jude Bunan, situated about 80km from Kuching, here Thursday. Serian Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Richard Riot Jaem who is also the Human Resource Minister and BN candidate for Kedup, Martin Ben accompanied the Prime Minister during the visit. Najib said the government was committed to fulfill the development agendas that were pledged because such commitments from BN are not empty promises like that pledged by the opposition. "Do not be influenced or convinced by promises made by the opposition. The people do not want empty promises. Promises must be fulfilled. Who can do it? asked the Prime Minister to an eager crowd who immediately replied 'BN' in a collective voice.
