ALOR STAR, Feb 12 – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak has listed determination, teamwork and appropriate strategies as ingredients needed to ensure Barisan Nasional’s (BN) success in the 14th general election (GE14). Citing the successful outing of the Baiduri team from Perak in the badminton tournament under the annual programme of the wives of BN elected representatives here today, Najib said the three factors should serve as a guide and foundation for success.
He said they should take a leaf from Baiduri’s success and they need to have determination, the resolve to win. He told this to the reporters when closing the programme. Baiduri, which represents the wives of BN elected representatives from Perak, won the team event after defeating the Association of the Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers (Bakti).
Elaborating on teamwork, which was evident in the Baiduri team, Najib said they appeared to work as a close-knit family, while deploying the appropriate strategies. Also present was Najib’s wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor who is also Bakti president, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah.
Meanwhile, the annual programme which began on Feb 7 saw the participation from 14 associations of wives of BN elected representatives across the country. Najib also urged the wives of BN elected representatives to play a more proactive role in helping the people.
He said through these associations, charitable programmes will be yet another way of helping people who have fallen victims to misfortunes, including floods. Earlier today, Najib presented the prizes to winners of the badminton and bowling tournaments held in conjunction with the annual programme.
