PAKATAN Harapan (PH) Melaka is banking on the Federal Government's policy record, including civil service salary increases and improvements in economic stability, to secure support from early voters in Saturday's state election.

PH Melaka chairman Adly Zahari said the coalition had been explaining the government's policies and achievements to early voters throughout the election campaign, urging them to support the continuation of its reform agenda.

He said the salary adjustments for civil servants, which he described as a long-delayed commitment, were among the federal initiatives highlighted to voters.

"Indeed, if we look at the government under the Prime Minister, it has fulfilled commitments that had been delayed for a long time, such as civil service salary increases," he told a daily PH press conference at the coalition's main operations room in Melaka today.

Adly also cited the country's economic stability following the COVID-19 pandemic and the strengthening of the ringgit as factors that voters should consider.

He said PH hoped early voters would recognise the government's efforts and support policies aimed at sustaining economic growth, strengthening governance and promoting integrity and transparency.

"We hope early voters will appreciate what has been done and use their votes to support the continuation of these policies so Malaysia can become a country that is not only stable and economically strong, but also upholds integrity, transparency and good governance," he said.

Adly added that PH had conducted several training sessions for its election machinery in preparation for tomorrow's early voting and hoped the process would proceed smoothly.

According to Election Commission statistics, 687,697 voters are eligible to vote in the Melaka state election, comprising 675,166 ordinary voters, 9,769 military personnel and their spouses, and 2,762 police personnel.

PH is contesting 24 state seats, fielding 10 candidates from PKR, seven from DAP and seven from Amanah. - November 9, 2026
