In conjunction with this year's National Day celebration, the Prime Minister's wife and former deputy prime minister, said the people should demonstrate the determination to develop the country together, including by electing representatives who are believed to be able to develop the state and the country.

"Develop our country together. Every vote is important. Let’s go out and vote," she said at the Semarak Merdeka programme here.

The Election Commission (EC) has set Aug 12 as the polling date for the state elections in Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Penang, Kedah, Terengganu and Kelantan and the Kuala Terengganu by-election.
