MELAKA, Nov 9 – Pakatan Harapan (PH) Melaka chairman Adly Zahari has urged civil servants to consider the federal government’s efforts to improve their salaries and strengthen the national economy when they cast their votes in the Melaka state election.
Adly said the government’s initiatives should be among the factors considered by 12,531 security personnel and their spouses who will vote early on Nov 10.
He highlighted the 15 per cent salary increase for civil servants under the Public Service Remuneration System (SSPA). He also pointed to the government’s efforts to strengthen Malaysia’s economy after the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adly Highlights Government’s Performance
Adly said the administration under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had delivered on long-standing promises, including the salary adjustment for civil servants.
He also noted that Malaysia had overcome several economic challenges following the pandemic. According to him, some countries in the region continue to face economic difficulties.
However, Adly said economic performance was not the only factor voters should consider.
He encouraged civil servants to look at the government’s efforts to improve integrity, transparency and national governance. These areas, he said, also matter when assessing the country’s leadership.
PH Reaches Out to Early Voters
Adly, who is also the PH candidate for the Bukit Katil state constituency, said the coalition had stepped up engagement with early voters.
The campaign team has been explaining PH’s direction and the federal government’s policies. It also highlights initiatives that could benefit civil servants and their families.
Adly shared these remarks during a daily press conference at the PH Main Operations Room in Bukit Baru on Nov 9.
The Election Commission has scheduled Nov 10 as the early voting day for the 16th Melaka state election. Meanwhile, other registered voters will head to the polls on Nov 14.
The early voting process allows eligible personnel, including security forces, to cast their ballots ahead of polling day.
As the election approaches, candidates and political parties continue to reach out to voters. Their campaigns focus on policies, public services and the issues that matter to local communities.
