MELAKA, Nov 1 — Barisan Nasional (BN) is confident that the achievements and performance of the state administration over the past five years will be among the key factors considered by fence-sitters in determining their choice of candidate in the Melaka state election on November 14.

Melaka BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ab Rauf Yusoh said these voters would assess the party based on its ability to administer the state, as well as the effectiveness of policies and initiatives that directly benefit the people.

“Fence-sitters look at the direction of a party that will be given the mandate to administer a state or country.

“So they will look at what we have delivered to the people while administering the state before making their choice,” he told reporters after inspecting the preparations of the BN election machinery at the Telok Mas state constituency operations room here today.
