GEORGE TOWN, July 9 (Bernama) -- The people must be intelligent and serious
in selecting leaders to govern the nation, in order to maintain the
administrative structure practiced for the last 55 years.
Former prime minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the Barisan Nasional''s
(BN) administrative system was the best as it practiced a concept of sharing
which involved every race and ethnic group in developing the country.
"The peace and harmony of today is the result of our multi-racial attitude,
a willingness not to be enemies.
"Our country inherited the administrative system which was created by the
first prime minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman with Tun Tan Cheng Lock and Tun V.T
Sambanthan. We developed this country together.
"This is the best approach," he said at a dinner with non-governmental
organisations organised by the Human Development Association of Malaysia and
Penang Indians Development Association, here today.

"BN is not a party which just wants votes and we really have no other choice
because we have only two parties in the country. So if we reject BN then the
opposition would win and they would destroy the country," he said.
He also urged party leaders to reprimand leaders who failed to perform and
for those on the receiving end to take the advise given.
The guests at the dinner also celebrated Dr Mahathir''s 87th birthday which
is on July 10.
