KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 — Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today said that the coalition can bring stability and prosperity wherever they govern.

Citing the Melaka and Johor state election, he said both states have proved that they have flourished under the administration of BN.

"Johor, after fully returning to BN recorded the highest investment in the country. A total of RM60.9 billion was invested, the highest investment ever recorded in the state compared to RM24.5 billion in 2019.

"As for Malacca, it was ranked fifth highest in investment for the manufacturing sector, with a GDP growth of 2.9 per cent as of last March,” he said in his latest Facebook posting.

"Pahang under the BN administration succeeded in reducing the state's debt from RM3 billion to RM950 million. These are the successes recorded where BN is still the government,” said Zahid.

He said that most people longed for BN to return to dominance as the state and federal governments in the 15th general election after the "misery” they endured for 39 months under the Pakatan Harapan and Perikatana Nasional government.

"Let us together realise the error that was made in GE14 after the many crimes of lies, defamation and false promises. We will ensure that we restore stability and prosperity for all,” he said.
