THE Perikatan Nasional (PN) government was the country’s saviour when faced with the Covid-19 pandemic, and not a traitor as claimed by political enemies, coalition chairman Muhyiddin Yassin said last night.

According to Muhyiddin, the economy has not collapsed, which is due to his leadership.

He said he had taken several bold and effective steps to ensure that the well-being of the people was safeguarded, including reopening the economic sector to prevent the country from facing a worse crisis.

“We are not traitors to the nation, religion and country, we are the saviours of this beloved nation,” he said when announcing PN’s candidates for parliament last tonight.

Therefore, he said that it is important for the people to continue giving a mandate to PN in the election.

“It is more important that a government formed through the support of the people is a government that cares and can shoulder a heavy burden. Regarding the question of who can shoulder the trust, the answer is none other than PN.

“I don’t want to ‘masuk bakul angkat sendiri’ (blow one’s own trumpet). This is a fact, not just mere words but effective actions that we have proven ourselves in protecting the people,” he said. – Bernama, November 2, 2022.
