PAGOH: Barisan Nasional will not abandon the basic principles of power sharing and justice to reach an agreement on seat allocation in the next general election, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said yesterday.

He said the concept was important in determining seat allocation and also helped BN to stay in power.

The Umno deputy president said seat allocation among BN component parties would take into consideration the current political landscape and the people's support.

He reminded BN members not to be too confident or arrogant about the people's support as many factors could change that.

"BN should be aware of the changes in the political landscape and what people expect of them.

"We need to continue to work hard to serve the people. We can't afford to be complacent," said Muhyiddin after presenting aid to 168 recipients under the Special Programme for People's Welfare at SK Paya Panjang here yesterday.

Muhyiddin said the people's support for BN was returning because they had realised the coalition's ability to develop the country and its track record.

"But there are still groups and areas that need attention. Therefore, we need to continue with our touch point programmes and efforts to solve people's problems."

On candidates for the general election, Muhyiddin said the matter was still being discussed by the component parties.

"We are in discussion with all the component parties. All the leaders are aware of the challenges and the different political landscape we are facing today.

"We need a consensus so that we can achieve a win-win formula for all," said the BN deputy chairman.

Our by election Marverick is back. Datuk Muhy's message is loud and clear.

BN professes fairness and equality.

BN candidates must not be winnable but also be committed.

Muhy is humble and not being over confident, one of his winning trademarks

Avoid complacency and help solve the people's ever growing problems.

Yes, we like it.

Double trouble for snatch theft suspects

KLUANG: Two snatch theft suspects on the run from police hid in an army camp, but were later caught by military policemen for trespassing.

The military policemen at Mahkota Army camp here handed the suspects, aged 28 and 31, to policemen waiting outside the camp.

The suspects are in big trouble, for apart from charges of trespassing and theft, they are also looking at a murder rap after a victim they had assaulted died on Sunday.

The drama began in Taman Intan last week when the two suspects tried to grab a woman's handbag.

She put up a struggle and a passing patrol car spotted the commotion.

Seeing the policemen, the suspects abandoned their motorcycle and climbed over a gate at the side entrance of the army camp, where they hid for a while.

Several minutes later, they tried to walk out through the main entrance, without realising that military policemen and policemen in the patrol car were waiting for them.

Johor deputy police chief Datuk Ismail Yatim said they were investigating the suspects for the murder of a 79-year-old man, who was attacked while returning home after a morning walk on Sept 1.
