THE nation has enjoyed unity and prosperity for 54 years after
independence due to the Barisan Nasional concept of power sharing and
inclusiveness.
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said Malaysia was
unique in this sense and the people should work towards strengthening
this.
He said the nation did not need people who wanted to see this strong base being decimated or weakened.
No one in the nation had been sidelined as everyone enjoyed the efforts to develop the country, he said, when speaking at the national Christmas open house at the Kajang High School here yesterday.
Muhyiddin, who is BN deputy chairman, said the government had ensured this through various policies.

"We have various transformation policies to change our society and to
develop it towards 2020. We do not look at your race or background.
Everyone enjoys it and gets the benefits."
Muhyiddin said the concept of open house showed that people respected each other's beliefs.

"We are thankful for this and are confident of the religious leaders in the nation.
"With this type of practices, the country will definitely progress," he said, adding that religious leaders could also give suggestions for the benefit of the nation.
He said the open house concept was unique to Malaysia due to its multiracial population.
"I have just come back from Europe which is mainly Christian. But I can say that this is one country that celebrates Christmas this way. Hope we can keep this going," he told the crowd of about 20,000 people.
Muhyiddin said the 2012 Budget had allocated RM2 billion to be handed over to families earning less than RM3,000 a month -- a RM500 one-off payment, RM200 for tertiary students to buy books and RM100 for all school students. He said these were fine examples of BN's policies that did not look at race or background.
