SEGAMAT (April 25, 2013): The "high-speed train of national transformation" will be derailed if there is a change in government, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said today.
Likening the country's journey to development and transformation to a train, Muhyiddin warned that changing "drivers" may lead to disaster.
"(Prime Minister) Datuk Seri Najib (Abdul Razak) is now in the driver's seat, bringing the high-speed train to transformation, and he knows where the destination is and where he is going."
Muhyiddin was addressing a crowd of some 1,500 people, mostly civil servants, at the launch of the 1Malaysia Help for Housewives scheme.
"Do we go straight forward to become a developed nation or along the way we change the driver just because some people say 'ubah' (change) ... and end up in the ravine?" he asked, alluding to the Opposition's rallying cry of "change" in this general election.
He chided the Opposition for not having any experience in governing the nation.
"They have no experience, but we (Barisan Nasional) have 56 years of experience!" he charged.
Muhyiddin also said the Opposition often trumpets that the BN government has ruled for too long, and is too "old" and dated.
"I say it is not about age, it is about leadership capabilities," he said.
Muhyiddin made light of the massive turnout at an opposition rally in Segamat on Wednesday.
The ceramah, which was attended by Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, saw a huge turnout of some 20,000 people.
Asked by the press to compare the turnouts at their respective ceramah, Muhyiddin said the BN campaign is going well and that BN has conducted many well-received programmes.
"We are not affected by numbers ... We also have thousands at our ceramah," he said.
