People's Progressive Party (PPP) vice-president Datuk Maglin Dennis D'Cruz believes the experience factor will be the main reason why the people in the country will continue to choose the existing
government in the next general election.

"People will continue to support Barisan Nasional (BN) as the government for the people since the past 55 years. People want a government with experience.

"When they go to see a doctor, they will never go to a new doctor. They will find a senior doctor because he knows better through experience.

"So for the next general election, there shouldn’t be a problem for BN," he told reporters during the 59th PPP Annual General Meeting (AGM) that was officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) here on Sunday.

Maglin who is also the Deputy Information Communications and Culture Minister advised people especially youngsters to carefully choose the right party and fulfill their responsibility as a citizen by voting in the general election.

He said Malaysia could face the same 'fate' like a few troubled countries in the world which handed over their government to the wrong people and this situation should not happen here.

Parties that form the Opposition pact are too weak to pose any threat to Barisan Nasional (BN) because they (Opposition) would not be able to win over the people like what the BN has been able to, said PPP President Datuk Seri M. Kayveas.

"They (Opposition) are walking on a vulnerable bridge. DAP at one time were PAS' biggest 'enemy' but now they (DAP) can afford to sleep together in the same pillow although DAP is rooting for a secular country while PAS is determined to establish an Islamic state and enforce the Hudud law.

"PKR on the other hand have become the middleman to ensure PAS and DAP will not end up in a 'divorce'. This so called 'marriage' between PAS and DAP is just to capture Putrajaya," he said.

Meanwhile, Najib who opened PPP's AGM on Sunday pledged to pay the Insurance premium of RM15 for 4,047 delegates who attended AGM today under a special insurance coverage plan.

Kayveas said under the group insurance scheme, all PPP members would be eligible to apply for the scheme which provides for a maximum coverage of RM20,000.
