MELAKA: Pakatan Harapan has finally decided to name state chairman Adly Zahari as its candidate for the Melaka chief minister’s post should the coalition win the state election.
PH chairman Anwar Ibrahim announced this at a press conference today, joined by Adly, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and Amanah president Mohamad Sabu.
This comes after Lim had urged PH to officially announce Adly as its chief minister-designate, following speculation that former Sungai Udang assemblyman Idris Haron would be named for the post.
Anwar said politicians who use their power to profit from the people should be rejected, and that power was in the hands of the people of Melaka.
“The people have a choice. They can decide if they want to maintain a rotten government system, or a government based on ethical principles,” he said.
He also said that PH wanted to send a clear message to the people of Melaka that the coalition was united by deciding on one candidate for the chief minister’s post.
Lim said the people of Melaka should “punish” the former state government for its failure in handling the Covid-19 pandemic.
He also said PH represented all people, regardless of race and background.
Melaka goes to the polls on Nov 20 with early voting slated for Nov 16. - FMT
