PENANG MPs from Barisan Nasional (BN) who win in the general election (GE) will be monitored through report cards every three months to ensure they carry out their duties, said Penang BN chairman Musa Sheikh Fadzir.

“This initiative is to ensure that those elected are responsible for serving the community that has voted for them. Previously, there have been MPs whose self-interests came first and they subsequently party-hopped.

“We also want to start this report card initiative so the people know the parliamentarians they vote for will go to the ground and do their duty,” he said after the presentation of watikah certificates to Penang BN candidates for parliamentary nomination in George Town today.

He said with the report cards, Penang BN hopes MPs who win in the GE will still visit their constituencies even if they live in Kuala Lumpur. 

Regarding the Penang manifesto, Musa said the state manifesto has been completed, but since the assembly has not been dissolved, the coalition of political parties will use the central BN manifesto.

The Election Commission has set Saturday as nomination day, and early voting on November 15 with polling on November 19. – Bernama, November 3, 2022.
