Johor election: “Poster boy” is no guarantee of becoming MB – Onn Hafiz

JOHOR BAHRU, JUNE 18 -- Being a poster boy or the main character representing a party's campaign in an election is not a guarantee of being appointed as Menteri Besar if a new government is successfully formed. Johor Menteri Besar, Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, said that the approval of the palace, especially the Sultan of Johor Sultan Ibrahim and the Regent Sultan of Johor Tunku Mahkota Ismail, was very important in determining who would lead the state government. "As Menteri Besar, I will be seen as the ' poster boy ', that's normal." "But we are clear that whatever the circumstances, the one who will determine who the menteri besar is is the Sultan of Johor or the Regent Sultan of Johor." "The approval of the Johor Palace is very important," he said in a special interview with print media practitioners and news portals at Saujana, his official residence, yesterday. The poster boy strategy , which is usually used in every election, is important to build and attract voter confidence to support candidates from the contesting party. He also shared advice from the Johor Palace for all parties to maintain good manners and discipline during the campaign period. He said that mutual respect is important to practice despite differences in political beliefs and ideologies. "There's no need to curse or insult. Maintain good manners, that's what your Majesty says," he said. In another development, Onn Hafiz said that feedback from the Johor Palace and the people was one of the yardsticks used to see their performance level over the past four years. "For me and all the Exco members, I always remind myself and them that feedback on the government's performance needs to come from two parties, not just from me." "When the people and the Palace say that we have carried out our duties well, that is when we can consider that the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) set have been successfully achieved. "But if one of them, whether it's the Royal Institution or the people, gives feedback that we're not doing our job well, in my opinion, we're not doing our responsibility well. We're always sensitive to the feedback given," he said. The Johor state election is set for July 11, while the nomination of candidates is on June 27. -- BERNAMA

Johor allocates over RM66 million to strengthen state’s public health sector

ISKANDAR PUTERI: The Johor State Government has spent more than RM66 million to strengthen the state's public health sector during its four-year administration. Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi said the allocation was channeled to ensure the welfare and health of approximately four million people in the state continue to be maintained. He said the state government cannot remain silent and must always emphasize public health issues because they involve the lives of the people. "If we follow the old method, the state government would not need to spend more than RM66 million for the Johor State Health Department (JKNJ), but when the lives of almost four million Johor residents are involved, we cannot turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear." "That's why I have never hesitated to go to the field to strengthen JKNJ and I will continue to pay attention to the state's public health sector," he said. He said this when speaking at the opening of the Johor State-Level Nurses' Day Celebration here today, which was also attended by Johor Health Director Dr Mohtar Pungut. Onn Hafiz said the state government would also continue to help find solutions to the issue of health workforce shortages, especially involving nurses and doctors in Johor. "In Johor, we know there is a shortage of nurses and doctors. We will work together to find the best method to ensure that these vacancies can be filled immediately," he said. At the same event, Onn Hafiz also announced an allocation of RM500,000 to nurses throughout Johor as a token of appreciation for their services and sacrifices, in addition to RM100,000 to medical assistants in the state. He said the move was part of the state government's ongoing efforts to strengthen appreciation for health workers by increasing allocations to nurses and medical assistants in recognition of their contributions to the health sector. He said the allocation to state nurses had shown a continuous increase since 2023, namely RM200,000 in the first year, RM300,000 in the following year and RM400,000 in 2025. -- BERNAMA
