“BN leaders will serve the people and be with them whether it is before, during or after the general election,” he said at a ground-breaking ceremony for the Tongod sports complex and youth arena.

Also present were the BN candidates Bung Mokhtar Raden (Kinabatangan parliamentary constituency) and Masiung Banah (Kuamut state seat).

He said the opposition leaders would sow empty promises, tell lies and slander to gain support but disappear after a general election only to appear again in five years.

Musa also rapped the local opposition Warisan Sabah party, which had said it would get rid of communal native land titles.

He said such grants were the best method because the land given would be inherited by the subsequent generations as they could not be sold.
