KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional's victories in the Johor and Negri Sembilan elections should not make the coalition complacent, but instead spur it to continue working to maintain the people's confidence.

BN must not be complacent after Johor, Negri Sembilan victories

Barisan Nasional's recent wins in Johor and Negri Sembilan should not lead to complacency, but instead encourage the coalition to maintain the people's trust, according to Umno vice-president Johari Abdul Ghani. Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's briefing emphasized the need for the party to learn from past shortcomings and strengthen its capabilities.

Umno and BN must not become arrogant, but rather continue working to earn the people's confidence, Ghani stressed. Vice-president Mohamed Khaled Nordin echoed this sentiment, stating that the victories should not foster a sense of complacency, but rather serve as motivation to further bolster the party. Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki added that the briefing also stressed the importance of unity among Umno members at all levels and readiness to face future challenges, including potential elections.

The party's recent momentum following its victories in the two states has given it a boost as it prepares for any future possibilities.
