PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said today the Barisan Nasional will go into the Sungai Besar parliamentary by-election in Selangor as the underdog and work hard with wisdom to retain the seat.
The Deputy Prime Minister said BN had won the seat through the late Datuk Noriah Kasnon with a slim 399-vote majority.
“In the Sungai Besar by-election, we are more the underdog because of the slim 399-vote majority. Furthermore, the state government is led by an opposition party.
“We realise that we have to work hard with wisdom to overcome all problems to retain the seat,” he told a press conference after chairing a meeting to coordinate federal government programmes in the constituency.
The meeting was held to ensure that there would be no overlap in the implementation of programmes and activities as Selangor is administered by an opposition party.-Bernama
