SANTUBONG: Prime Minister today expressed confidence that Santubong parliamentary constituency will remain as a Barisan Nasional’s (BN) stronghold.

“I’m proud to have come today and as proved by so many attendees, I can say that it is now confirmed that Santubong is a government’s stronghold.
“I believe that we shouldn’t just chase those (voters) in the grey areas, we should also look after those in the white areas too. I’m sure by doing so, insyaAllah (God willing), in the next general election, Santubong will continue to be our high-performance stronghold.”
The prime minister said this while addressing the congregation after performing Friday prayers at Nurir Rahmani Mosque in Kampung Santubong, and later proceeded to launch the RM3 million mosque here yesterday, 1st May.
