Dr Mahathir Mohamad has stressed that the Pakatan Harapan government will fulfil the promises contained in its manifesto for the 14th General Election.

The prime minister said he knew that the people are eager to enjoy their success in changing the government and putting Harapan, the coalition of four parties, in power after the GE14.

“I believe that we will be able to fulfil all our promises, including to save the country,” he said in his brief speech at the Deepavali Open House 2018 at Dataran Rembau, which was attended by 7,000 people in Rembau tonight.

Also present were Undang Luak Rembau Lela Maharaja Muhamad Sharip Othman, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department P. Wathyamoorthy, Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Eddin Syazlee Shith, Negeri Sembilan Bersatu chairman Rais Yatim, Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin and state executive councillors.

Meanwhile, Mahathir said Malaysians’ strong spirit of sharing and celebrating each other’s festivals is a good sign for Malaysia’s further development.

“This definitely contributes to the peaceful and harmonious environment in Malaysia, which will enable the country to be further developed for the benefit of the rakyat,” he said.

Dr Mahathir, accompanied by his wife, Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali, had earlier visited the Vivekananda Childcare Centre.
