BIDOR: The Sikh community here has pledged their support for Barisan Nasional candidates Datuk Ong Ka Chuan and Datuk S. Veerasingam.
About 100 people from the community turned up at the Bidor Sikh Temple to show support for Ong, who is contesting the Tanjung Malim parliamentary seat, and Sungkai state seat candidate Veerasingam.
Malaysia National Sikhs Movement president Tan Sri G. Darshan Singh said even though the Sikh population was small but there was no doubt that the community had been loyal to the Barisan Nasional.
"The track record of the Barisan government speaks louder than words and we need it to be a strong government for the next 50 years and more," he said.
Ong expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the community, who showed their support him regardless of their racial background.
"As elected representatives, our responsibility is to plan for the future and stability of the people," the Perak MCA chief said.
"We will also bring development in terms of infrastructure, amenities and education," he added.
He said the Barisan was representing people from various races and its duty was to look into the interest of the different communities.
Ong, who is also MCA secretary-general, also promised to work for the betterment of the community and fulfil its needs and requirements if he were to be elected.
"Your problems will be mine and I hope to get your support in the general election," he said.
Veerasingam urged the community to show unity in ensuring victory for the Barisan.
"The Barisan government will work for the benefits of the Sikh community and to ensure that your interest will be taken care of," he said.
