Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said today it is now proven that the opposition pact, especially in Selangor, is incapable of running a government.

NONE He said the opposition parties only knew how to make promises without thinking whether they had the ability to deliver them.

He said in Selangor, the state government was faced with various issues such as the sand mining issue, which he said, was in stark contrast to their claims of being an efficient government.

"They have no ability to manage the state economy although they claim to be an efficient government.

"In reality, they only talk... they talk like a parrot, they say things without knowing the meaning," he said when opening the Wangsa Maju Juara Rakyat programme at Pasar Besar Gombak in Kuala Lumpur today.

Muhyiddin, who is Federal Territory Umno chief, said the failure of the opposition to run their administration smoothly had affected confidence among investors towards the country, especially in Selangor.

"Should we trust them? I want the people to be aware of this and not destroy our future by believing in the lies and allegations being spread by the opposition parties when they themselves are not capable of delivering their own promises," he said.

Muhyiddin said that unlike the opposition pact, Barisan Nasional had proven its capabilities and that it had now overcome its past weaknesses, with the leaders now going to the ground to meet the people.

"We are now a true government for the people," he said.

He also refuted allegations by the opposition that the BN was a racist government.

"How is it that they are accusing us of being racist when we are

representing the interest of everyone... the Malay, Chinese, Indian, Iban, Kadazan and so on," he said.

At the event Muhyiddin approved a RM5 million allocation to upgrade Taman Melati flats in Wangsa Maju which houses 10,000 residents.
