KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 (Bernama) -- The next general election, to be held by 2004, would be one of the most important wars ever fought by the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN), BN Youth head Datuk Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said today.
"The next general election would be one of the most important wars, not only for the BN but also for future generations. For this we have to be ready to fight the dirty tactic of the opposition as only the BN can guarantee the future of this country," he said.
He said the 14 BN component parties, whether they like it or not, must be fully prepared to face this war as the opposition was willing to go to any length to gain control of the country.
"They (opposition parties) are looking at temporary gains but we look not only at the present but also the future...we have to be prepared for the war," he told reporters after opening the People's Progressive Party (PPP) Youth annual general assembly here.
He said the coalition's top leadership had asked all component parties to gear up for the national polls and all the 14 parties were now fine-tuning their election machinery.
He said any differences among groups in component parties should be set aside so that they could concentrate on preparing for the general election.
