BUKIT MERTAJAM, November 4 – Penang Barisan Nasional announce the candidates who will represent the coalition in the 13 state Parliament seats in the 15th General Election (GE15), this Thursday. Penang BN Chairman, Datuk Musa Sheikh Fadzir said he will take the will after BN Chairman, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, announced the list of candidates in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.
Penang Members of Parliament (MPs) from Barisan Nasional (BN) who win in the 15th General Election (GE15) will be monitored through report cards every three months to ensure they carry out their duties, said Penang BN chairman Datuk Musa Sheikh Fadzir. This initiative is to ensure that those elected are responsible for serving the community that has voted for them.
Previously, there have been MPs whose self-interest comes first and subsequently party-hopped. We also want to start this report card initiative so that the people know that the parliamentarians they vote for will go to the ground and do their duty,” he said after the presentation of Watikah certificates to Penang BN candidates for Parliamentary nomination here today.
He said with this report card, Penang BN hopes the MPs who win in the GE15 will still visit their constituencies even if they live in Kuala Lumpur. Regarding the Penang manifesto, Musa said the state manifesto has been completed but since the State Legislative Assembly has not been dissolved, the coalition of political parties will use the central BN manifesto.
