PUTRAJAYA, April 30 -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim told Barisan Nasional not to be complacent after the coalition retained its seat in the Ayer Kuning by-election, saying now is the time to "work harder" to serve the people.

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said BN's victory was discussed in today's Cabinet meeting, and that Anwar commended the coalition's effective campaign, especially in drawing more support from younger voters.

"The PM said the victory is a positive sign even when the turnout was lower, because the support from younger and Malay voters showed increments," the minister said.

"But he also said the government is not complacent by the results but must work harder to solve the people's problems."
