The Barisan Nasional's election manifesto is currently undergoing final touches and will be launched by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, who is also BN chairman, at the appropriate time, BN secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said today.

NONE He said what was assured was that each pledge in the manifesto would be fulfilled, unlike the opposition which only made empty promises.

"The promises will be fulfilled as our party BN is from the people, for the people and because of the people.

"What we pledge in the manifesto will be fulfilled as we have the means to ensure the people receive what they want," Tengku Adnan told reporters after presenting 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M) vouchers at the Neighbourhood Complex in Precinct 11 of Putrajaya.

On the Pakatan Rakyat manifesto, which is to be launched on Monday, Tengku Adnan said he was puzzled why it was still issuing a manifesto when it had admitted that the manifesto was not a promise which should be fulfilled.

The Selangor Pakatan Rakyat government led by Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim had earlier been reported to have said that the opposition's general election manifesto was not pledges that needed to be fulfilled.

On the BR1M 2.0, Tengku Adnan said 9,401 residents here were eligible to receive the aid and about 5,000 vouchers were handed over today, while 3,000 more had been presented earlier.

The remaining aid vouchers would be handed over before the end of the month and those who could not attend the presentation ceremony could claim their aid vouchers at the elected representative's office in Presinct 14 during office hours, he said.
