JOHOR BAHRU: Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has described the victory in the Johor state election as a gift to the people for placing their trust in BN again.

As such, he said Johor BN's initiatives would be immediately implemented, with the central leadership continuing to assist Johor BN chairman Datuk Hasni Mohammad as Menteri Besar.

"The unofficial result is beyond expectation. Grateful. No arrogance, gloating and conceit... this victory is a gift to the people of Johor who have placed their trust in BN again.

"As BN chairman, I will submit Datuk Hasni's name so that he will get the consent of Tuanku (Sultan of Johor) to continue his duty as Johor Menteri Besar," he said.

Ahmad Zahid said this at a media conference after BN's landslide victory in the Johor election.
