GE14 | Penang Pakatan Harapan unveiled its state election manifesto today, which contains 68 promises for the coalition to fulfil if they retain the state after the 14th general election.
At a packed ceramah in the Penang Chinese Town Hall, they vowed to continue the various infrastructure projects implemented in the state, including highways, the undersea tunnel, and the Penang Transport Master Plan, which incorporates the LRT and public bus systems, to address the state's traffic woes.
These include flood mitigation projects, as well as the upgrade of markets and community halls.
As pledged in the coalition manifesto, the state equivalent will also limit the chief minister's post to two terms.
The state opposition leader will be made chair of the Public Accounts Committee, with funds to be provided for the upgrade of its office at the Penang legislative assembly.
The Penang Harapan manifesto also promises to enhance the eminence of Islam in the state, while treating other religions equally.
Senior citizens and disabled persons will see an increase in their annual allowance from RM130 to RM200. Penangites who earn less than RM5,000 annually will be entitled to RM300 for the state's health programme.
Cost of living financial aid will also be provided to women with a monthly income of less than RM2,000.
In terms of housing, Harapan pledged to build 75,361 low, low medium cost and affordable homes by 2025.
