MELAKA, Oct 18 — The crisis in Negeri Sembilan is not expected to affect Barisan Nasional’s (BN) preparations for the Melaka state election next month, Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said.
He said the key was to ensure that strategies drawn up by the party leadership were effectively implemented by its election machinery to secure victory, adding that good strategies not implemented will also cause plans to fail.
“We can draw up an excellent strategy that looks very good on paper, with many voters identified or categorised as BN’s fixed supporters. But if we fail to get them to turn out to vote, it means nothing.
“Their votes will not be cast,” he told reporters after officiating at the closing ceremony of the 10th National Conference of Persatuan Solidariti Nasional (PerSoNa).
