KUALA LUMPUR, 9 August – Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said Malaysians who once hoped to see a better living condition by voting the Opposition in the 14th general election are now in despair and devastated.

What they got after that was really frustrating, he said.

“Come back to us. Come back to BN. Don’t you miss the era under us? We never failed you. We fulfilled most of your aspirations,” he said in a FB posting.

He said, all the ‘moon and the stars’ promises did not materialize but some of the people’s rights were eliminated.

“Political instability, economic downturn and deterioration of welfare between races only put them under problems. They were smart to deceive us.

“However, the failure of the 22-month and 17-month government are the most valuable lessons. Let us change it back.”

He said, expectations need to be based on rationality, logic and facts.

“That is one of the factors that most of those who were deceived have returned to BN as shown in Melaka and Johor state elections.

“Keep the momentum. BN is a friend you can trust.”
