Muhyiddin, who is also the prime minister, said PN wants to administer Malaysia more efficiently, effectively and competently, and it also possesses high aspirations to preserve unity among the people of various races and religions.

“We are offering a new deal to all Malaysians and we are here to stay for a long time. We wish to continue feeling the pulse of the rakyat and fulfil their needs in a very caring way.

“We are committed to administering this country with integrity for the sake of safeguarding the well-being and welfare of all the people,” he said when opening Gerakan’s 49th National Delegates Conference virtually here today.

Muhyiddin said PN’s determination to fulfil the rakyat’s aspiration for a better Malaysia, coupled with the solidarity and unity of the coalition’s component parties, would make PN the main choice of the rakyat.

He said the coalition, which comprises PPBM, PAS, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku, Sabah Progressive Party and Gerakan, could further increase its support among the rakyat by delivering on all its promises and commitments.

Muhyiddin said that as a coalition, PN was always ready to face the general election.

“Apart from getting our party machinery ready at all levels, we must also strengthen our preparations by learning from our past experiences. We must gain the trust of the rakyat, that we are a government that cares (about them), be it night or day,” he said.

On Gerakan, which joined PN on Feb 11 as its newest member, Muhyiddin said the party’s entry would strengthen PN as a coalition representing various races, religions and regions in the country.
