JOHOR, JULY 6 -- Pakatan Harapan vice president Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has called on young voters to support the coalition in the upcoming Johor State Election yesterday, saying the younger generation holds the key to building a more secure and prosperous future for the state. Speaking at the Bukit Naning DUN Meet & Launch of the Hope Volunteers programme at Seng Kee Banquet, Amirudin said the enthusiastic response from local youths reflected a growing desire for mature, clean and principled politics.

"The overwhelming support shown by the people of Bukit Naning demonstrates the aspirations of young voters who want politics based on integrity, accountability and service to the people," he said.

JOHOR BAHRU, JULY 6 -- As the Johor state election campaign enters its final stretch, several key issues have emerged as the dominant themes in political ceramahs and public statements, with each contesting coalition promoting its own narrative in an effort to win over voters. The Democratic Action Party (DAP) has consistently highlighted issues such as the recognition of the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC), the interests of the Chinese community, alleged threats posed by Muafakat Nasional, and the revival of discussions surrounding former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and the 1MDB scandal. The People's Justice Party (PKR), meanwhile, has focused its campaign on anti-corruption messaging, criticism of Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi’s administration, the principles of equality, the contributions of the MADANI Government, as well as references to Najib and the 1MDB case. Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) has largely directed its campaign towards criticising PAS, raising allegations of dishonesty and questioning the party’s ability to deliver on its political agenda. In contrast, Barisan Nasional (BN) has adopted a more structured campaign strategy, with its component parties placing strong emphasis on the achievements of the Johor state government under the leadership of Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi. BN has highlighted the state administration’s performance, the implementation of various people-centric initiatives, and the coalition’s longstanding contributions to Johor’s development. Perikatan Nasional (PN), however, which has seen its campaign efforts divided between PAS and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), has yet to present a clearly defined agenda for Johor voters in this election. Overall, observations from the first several days of campaigning indicate that each coalition has adopted a distinct strategy to appeal to the electorate. While some have focused on national political issues and controversies, others have chosen to spotlight governance, administrative performance, and the state government's achievements. These contrasting approaches are expected to shape the remainder of the campaign as political parties continue their efforts to convince voters that they offer the best leadership for Johor in the next term. -- MINUTESMY -- SOURCE: MYNEWSHUB

JOHOR BAHRU, July 6 – Pakatan Harapan Deputy Chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu yesterday has called on Johor voters to exercise their democratic rights by casting their ballots on July 11, stressing that every vote will determine the future direction of the state.

The Johor Hope Tour Talk drew a large crowd of supporters and local residents, who gathered to hear the coalition's vision and aspirations for the future of Johor ahead of polling day on July 11. -- MINUTESMY
