BN and PN leaders launched their manifesto on Nov 6 for the Melaka polls.MELAKA: Barisan Nasional’s manifestos have never focused on a particular ethnic group, says Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.
Hailing the inclusiveness of its election pledges for the Melaka polls, Asyraf said the manifesto – prepared jointly with its ally, Perikatan Nasional – had the state’s multiracial community in mind.
“It covers (the interests) of everyone – Malays, Chinese, Indians, and minorities such as Indian Muslims, Thais and the Orang Asli,” he told reporters after campaigning for BN in Peringgit.
In their manifesto unveiled on Nov 6, BN and PN promised to provide free water for Melaka households who use up to 20 cubic metres a month, no increase in land tax and 25,000 affordable homes over five years if the alliance wins the state election on Nov 14.
