JOHOR BAHRU, July 11 – Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has called on Johoreans to throw their support behind Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidates, stressing that the state's future depends on the choices made by its voters yesterday. Speaking while campaigning with Pakatan Harapan's Perling state assembly candidate, Alan Tee Boon Tsong, at Perling Mall on Friday, Anwar said the strong public turnout reflected the spirit of unity that has long been Malaysia's greatest strength. He described the presence of Malaysians from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds at the campaign event as a true representation of the country's multicultural identity, saying it demonstrated the importance of preserving unity for the benefit of both Johor and the nation. "Thank God, the crowd that turned up reflected Malaysia's rich diversity of cultures and communities. This is the spirit we want to continue nurturing for the well-being of our beloved state and country," he said in a social media post. Anwar also urged voters to give Pakatan Harapan a strong mandate in the Johor state election, reiterating the coalition's campaign slogan, "Johor Forward. Vote HARAPAN." He said a victory for Pakatan Harapan in Johor would help ensure the continuation of development initiatives, economic growth, and people's welfare programmes in line with the MADANI Government's agenda. The Perling campaign stop was part of Anwar's statewide tour to support Pakatan Harapan candidates ahead of polling day, as the coalition intensifies its efforts to engage voters and strengthen support across Johor. Pakatan Harapan has been ramping up its campaign throughout the state, focusing on messages of unity, political stability, and sustainable development as key pillars of its appeal to Johor voters. -- MINUTESMY

JOHOR BAHRU, 10 July -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on all Johoreans, including those residing outside the state, to return home and exercise their democratic right in Saturday's Johor state election, describing the polls as a defining moment that will shape the state's future. In his final appeal ahead of polling day, Anwar urged voters to choose leaders who are trustworthy, capable and committed to serving the people of Johor. The Prime Minister said Pakatan Harapan had demonstrated its ability to govern through the MADANI Government by implementing key reforms, attracting higher investments, raising wages, creating more dignified employment opportunities and resolving long-standing issues and delayed development projects. He added that the federal government's efforts had also restored Malaysia's reputation and credibility on the international stage, expressing confidence that the same spirit of reform and good governance could elevate Johor to greater heights. Anwar appealed to voters to place their trust in Pakatan Harapan to lead Johor with integrity, accountability and sound governance while ensuring justice and equal opportunities for all communities. He described the state election as an opportunity for the people to reject leaders who defend those accused of misappropriating public funds, as well as politics driven by racial and religious incitement instead of constructive ideas and policies. Concluding his message, Anwar prayed for Johor to be blessed with trustworthy leadership and expressed hope that the election would usher in a new chapter of prosperity, fairness and well-being for the people of the state. He ended his appeal with a traditional pantun before reiterating Pakatan Harapan's campaign slogan, "Johor Ke Depan. Undi HARAPAN." -- MINUTESMY
