MELAKA – With just a few minutes left before the end of campaigning for the Melaka polls, party leaders and candidates have made a final appeal to the people for their votes.
They disseminated messages through posters and short videos on their social media platforms, making it a point to remind voters to follow standard operating procedures and bring along the required identification documents to polling stations.
The candidates also urged people to cast their votes for them so they can fulfil the promises in their respective manifestos.
Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, in a short video on his Facebook page, said the votes of the people of Melaka would determine the policies, practices and style of the state government that will be formed.
“I hope the voters will give strong support to PN candidates on November 20 so that PN can form the state government and make Melaka a glorious state,” he said.
PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang, through a poster, called on Melaka voters to choose its candidates.
“PN is a strong alliance that we have formed, so we call on all the people, especially the voters of Melaka, to choose PN candidates in the state election,” he said.
Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, in his appeal for voter support, said the state election is an opportunity to restore political stability, while the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate in Lendu, ex-chief minister Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali, urged those who are out of town to return to Melaka to vote.
Melaka Umno chief and Tg Bidara candidate Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh called on voters in the area to carry out their responsibilities as Malaysians to uphold democracy in the country.
Not to be left out were five Parti Pribumi Perkasa Malaysia (Putra) candidates who will be making their debut in the polls, as they shared short videos on their Facebook pages.
Datuk Norhizam Hassan Baktee in a short video on his Facebook page said even though he is contesting as an independent candidate in Pengkalan Batu, it does not mean he cannot serve the people well.
A total of 476,037 of 495,195 registered voters are eligible to cast their ballots tomorrow. – Bernama, November 20, 2021
