PH’s Cheah Eyes RTS, JS-SEZ to Drive Kukup’s Tourism and Economic Growth

PONTIAN, July 8 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for Kukup, Cheah Chee Hong, has outlined plans to position the coastal constituency as a key beneficiary of the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link and the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), saying both initiatives could unlock new opportunities for tourism and local businesses. Cheah said Kukup, known as the southernmost tip of mainland Asia, is well-placed to capitalise on the expected increase in visitors travelling through Johor from Singapore once the RTS Link becomes operational. He noted that the journey from Johor Bahru to Kukup takes about an hour, making the destination easily accessible to both local and international tourists seeking seafood, coastal attractions, and nature-based experiences. However, Cheah stressed that transforming Kukup into a thriving tourism destination requires more than promotional campaigns. He said long-standing infrastructure issues must first be addressed to improve the overall visitor experience and quality of life for residents. If elected in the Johor state election on July 11, Cheah pledged to prioritise the upgrading of basic infrastructure, including widening roads, improving street lighting, enhancing telecommunications coverage with better 5G connectivity, and strengthening waste management services. He also proposed introducing a more systematic waste collection programme by appointing more efficient contractors to ensure cleaner public spaces. To further boost tourism, Cheah said he hopes to collaborate with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture to develop a more organised and comprehensive promotional strategy for Kukup, rather than relying solely on social media campaigns. In addition, he proposed establishing a large night market near the Kukup International Ferry Terminal with between 100 and 200 stalls dedicated to local entrepreneurs. According to Cheah, the initiative would not only attract more visitors but also create greater business opportunities for residents by supporting local vendors and small businesses. "I want to create business opportunities, not just jobs," he said. Cheah will face Barisan Nasional candidate Israk Abdullah in the contest for the Kukup state seat. He also called on Johoreans living or working in Singapore to return home and cast their ballots on polling day, saying every vote would help shape Johor's future.  -- MINUTESMY

Johor Polls: PH’s Cheah Takes Different Tack, Focuses On Local Issues

JOHOR BAHRU, July 7  -- As the Johor state election campaign enters its final phase and political parties increasingly turn to national issues, Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for the Kukup seat, Cheah Chee Hong, has opted for a different approach by focusing entirely on local issues. He said voters now want to hear solutions to the problems they face every day rather than debates on national politics. "Today, I don't want to talk about politics or national issues because everyone already sees those every day on social media. I only want to talk about Kukup," he told Bernama when contacted here today. Cheah said that after more than a week of campaigning, he managed to visit various areas in Kukup and listened firsthand to residents' grievances before identifying the priorities that should be addressed if elected as their representative. According to him, among the issues most frequently raised were the long-standing problem of poor rubbish collection, weak internet coverage and unstable electricity supply, which has damaged residents' electrical appliances. He said resolving these basic issues must be the priority before Kukup can be developed into a national-level tourist destination. Cheah also outlined proposals to upgrade infrastructure, including roads, street lighting, parking facilities and tourism amenities, as well as strengthen cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) to promote Kukup. He said Kukup's strategic location near Johor Bahru, the upcoming Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System, and its position within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone are advantages that should be leveraged to boost tourism and the local economy. Cheah also proposed establishing a large-scale night market to provide business opportunities for local residents, with the aim of increasing their income while attracting more tourists. He said he hoped his campaign, centred on solving local issues, would convince voters ahead of polling day, while also urging Kukup natives living outside the constituency to return home to fulfil their voting responsibility. Kukup is seeing a straight fight between Cheah and Barisan Nasional candidate Md Israk Abdullah. Early voting is today while polling will be held on July 11. -- BERNAMA

Johor Polls: PH’s Record Proves It Delivers, Says Aminolhuda

JOHOR BAHRU, July 3 -- Pakatan Harapan's (PH) record of delivering all the pledges in its 100-day manifesto when it governed Johor after the 14th General Election (GE14) should serve as a benchmark for voters in the upcoming Johor state election, said Johor PH chairman Aminolhuda Hassan. He said the achievement demonstrated that PH not only made election promises but also fulfilled its commitments to the people. Among the 10 initiatives delivered under the 100-day manifesto were limiting the Menteri Besar's tenure to two terms, introducing the Johor Health Card (Kad Sihat Johor), implementing an open tender system and providing 10 cubic metres of free water to eligible groups. "We also delivered a takaful scheme for senior citizens, higher education incentives, licence fee exemptions for hawkers, a 50 per cent discount on outstanding rent for People's Housing Project (PPR) units, the vertical government quota and marriage incentives for young people," he said at the launch of PH's "Johor for All" manifesto here today. Also present were PH Presidential Council member Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, PKR secretary-general Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh, Johor DAP chairman Teo Nie Ching and Johor PKR chairman Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa. Aminolhuda urged Johor voters to turn out in large numbers on July 11 and give PH the mandate to form the state government. The Johor Amanah chairman said he was confident the manifesto launched today could be implemented by the coalition if it forms the next state government. "I am confident the (future) leadership will continue the work led by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the federal level and deliver on what has been promised," he said. PH is contesting all 56 state seats in the Johor polls. -- BERNAMA
