KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has urged all candidates and party machinery to work hard to earn the people’s trust in the 16th Melaka state election.
In a Facebook post last night, Anwar, who is also the prime minister, said all instances of slander and racial incitement must be countered through tangible achievements and dedicated service to the people.
“Come, all Pakatan Harapan candidates and machinery uphold the trust placed in you for the Melaka state election through hard work.
“May our sincerity and determination enable us to make history in Melaka and drive reforms toward a future that is more just, prosperous, and dignified,” he said.
PH is fielding 21 candidates from its three component parties for the 16th Melaka state election, compared to 28 candidates in 2021.
The Election Commission (EC) has set November 14 as the polling day for the Melaka State Election, with candidate nominations scheduled for October 31 and early voting for November 10. — Bernama
