The Umno official stressed that the coalition's manifesto has never been narrowly focused on any single ethnic group, emphasizing its broad-based approach to governance and policy-making.
Ashyraf Wajdi Dusuki's comments come as Barisan Nasional continues to campaign ahead of upcoming elections, seeking to reassure voters from diverse backgrounds that the coalition's platform addresses the concerns and interests of all Malaysians.
The manifesto represents the coalition's commitment to inclusive governance, according to the Umno leader, who highlighted the document's coverage of policies affecting various communities across the country.
Barisan Nasional has traditionally positioned itself as a multiethnic coalition representing Malays, non-Malays, and other communities. The coalition's approach to policy formulation aims to balance the needs of different demographic groups within the Malaysian electorate.
The Umno secretary-general's remarks reflect the coalition's effort to maintain its broad electoral appeal across Malaysia's diverse population ahead of polling day.
