KUALA LUMPUR, August 13 – Barisan Nasional, together with its coalition partners in the United Government, respects the decision of the voters in the six states that went to the polls today. The announced results have reaffirmed the United Government’s control over the states of Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, and Penang. The mandate received today forms the foundation for the unity among the parties within the United Government to continue working together and strengthening synergies to uphold this coalition for the next 5 years.

Barisan Nasional extends its congratulations to the successful candidates. Embrace this responsibility to continue serving and contributing to the people. For those who did not succeed, remain steadfast and never cease in your efforts to advocate for the aspirations of the people in the face of challenges. To all the citizens who fulfilled their duty by voting and thereby enriched the democratic process in the country, our highest appreciation for your commitment and concern in shaping a better future for our states and nation.

We extend our gratitude to all party members, machinery, and volunteers who tirelessly contributed to the success of the campaign and worked hard to assist Barisan Nasional. Now, it is time for us to unite and work diligently to ensure that unity is preserved, stability is maintained, and the prosperity of the Malaysian people is secured.
