KUCHING: Barisan Nasional has revealed its election manifesto for the Sarawak state election, focusing on 15 points.
The 15 points touch on, among others, upholding the rights of Sarawak and its people, improving the welfare of the less fortunate, creating more job opportunities, education, health and housing for the low and middle income groups.
Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem said the manifesto represented Sarawak BN's promises and pledges to its people, aiming to achieve a peaceful and progressive state.
"Over the years, we have a proven track record. The BN government has kept the Rakyat's trust and proven that we do not make empty promises or pledges that ring hollow.
"With the support of the people, we have delivered results in the past. We are determined and will continue to deliver results in the future," said Adenan during the launch of the manifesto at the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu headquarters here, today.
