PORT DICKSON:

Voters should assess the manifestos of parties contesting the Negeri Sembilan state election based on their ability to translate pledges into action, rather than merely the promises made during the election campaign, says PKR’s Tengku Zafrul Aziz.

He said that while all parties had their own priorities and commitments, the key consideration should be whether they have the ability to fulfil the promises made after receiving the people’s mandate.

“We have seen three manifestos from Pakatan Harapan, Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional, and I believe each has its own focus. I leave it to voters to evaluate them, but what matters most is that the promises made in these manifestos are fulfilled,” said Tengku Zafrul, who is a member of PKR’s political bureau.

The Negeri Sembilan government led by PH had already implemented many of the commitments outlined, he said while campaigning in support of Dr G Rajasekaran in Port Dickson, the PH candidate for the Sri Tanjung seat.

On the alleged split in Negeri Sembilan PKR, including claims of sabotage attempts against candidates in the state election, he said that based on his observations with the party leadership and machinery in several constituencies, there was no such problem.

Rajasekaran said the positive response and warm reception from voters throughout the week-long campaign had given him confidence to retain the seat.

The Sri Tanjung seat is a five-cornered contest between Rajasekaran, A Achuthan (BN), M Leevineshwaraan (Bersatu), and independent candidates A Saravanan and Islah Wahyudi.

Early voting is scheduled for Tuesday (July 28) while polling will be held on Saturday (Aug 1). - FMT
