Lessons from GE14 and GE15
Ahmad Zahid drew parallels between the party’s performance in GE14 and GE15, stating that the problem that arose was that some leaders "kicked the ball into their own goal." He urged BN leaders to learn from these mistakes and work together to ensure victory in GE16.
Praising BN Ministers
Ahmad Zahid also praised the BN ministers for their excellent performance, including Foreign Minister Mohamad, who has successfully promoted the country’s name at the international level.
