'90pc in Felda support PM' New Straits Times 09 May 2013 KUALA LUMPUR: There is immense support from Felda communities nationwide as almost 90 per cent were confident of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's administration. Felda Group chairman Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad said in the wake of countless allegations thrown against the new government, Felda would always support Najib. "We hope the PM can continue to steer the country as he has proven to be capable of ensuring the welfare of Felda and the country," he said at Balai Felda. The newly elected Jempol parliamentarian said tense and chaotic situations were common after an election or by-election, but people needed to move forward. "Now, the new government will carry out its promises under the akujanji (pledge) and it will be delivered within the next five years." Isa said Malaysians should rise above allegations and racial sentiments concerning electoral fraud as it was merely a ploy by the opposition to create confusion. "Every election, the opposition will create confusion among the public and condemn the Election Commission" Commenting on the declining support of the Chinese towards Barisan Nasional, Isa said the matter ought to be further analysed. "During the 1999 elections, the Chinese support was good, but in the past two elections, their support has decreased. The government must seek out reasons behind this declining support." Isa said there was a possibility that the Chinese believed in the promises made by the opposition. On MCA's stand not to take up any government positions, he said the party should not give up. "The party has been around for 57 years and should continue helping the Chinese community." Copyright © 2013 The New Straits Times Press (Malaysia) Berhad.
