SEREMBAN, July 22 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has urged voters in Negeri Sembilan to continue placing their trust in Pakatan Harapan (Harapan), saying a renewed mandate is crucial to maintaining political stability.
Anwar said a strong mandate for Harapan would let the state government work in tandem with the federal administration, ensuring development initiatives and public welfare programmes are effectively implemented.
The prime minister, who is also Harapan chairman, said political stability and unity are fundamental to sustaining the state’s development and delivering lasting benefits to the people.
He said Negeri Sembilan has remained stable under the leadership of Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, thanks to the cooperation of all parties.
“Everybody knows what we have done, and what Tok Min (Aminuddin) has done in Negeri Sembilan over the past three years… Let us keep our politics stable, remain united with a common purpose, prevent any form of abuse and continue safeguarding the people’s interests,” he said during an event at Medan Selera Ampangan here today, which was also attended by Harapan’s Ampangan candidate Muhammad Nazri Kassim.
The prime minister is in Negeri Sembilan for a series of Harapan campaign events for the 16th state election.
Meanwhile, Anwar acknowledged that the state administration is not perfect and there is room for improvement.
“Give our candidate the chance to serve. Yes, not all our policies are perfect, but continue to give us your feedback, and our candidates will make improvements,” he said.
Harapan is contesting all 36 state seats in the election, fielding 16 candidates from Parti Keadilan Rakyat, 11 from DAP, and nine from Amanah.
Early voting for the Negeri Sembilan election is on July 28, with polling day on August 1.
