Malacca Bersatu still supportive of state govt, says state rep

 

Two Malacca state assemblypersons from Bersatu will continue to support the Umno-led state government.

Malacca Bersatu chief Mohd Rafiq Naizamohideen, who is also the Paya Rumput assemblyperson, said now is not the best time to jostle for power or to bring down any leader.

He said this is because the people have demanded the focus to be on tackling the Covid-19 pandemic and reviving the economy.

“We feel there has been enough of politicking and political ploys to bring down the prime minister or other leaders.

“I don’t want to get involved in the political wrangling as I am focusing on helping as many people as possible,” said Rafiq (above), who is also the Malacca Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairperson.

He was speaking to reporters after a ceremony today to present a victory incentive to national badminton doubles player and Tokyo Olympics 2020 bronze medallist Aaron Chia at the office of the Malacca governor in Seri Negeri.

Rafiq Naizamohideen and Telok Mas assemblyperson Datuk Noor Effandi Ahmad were said will uphold the leadership of Chief Minister Sulaiman Md Ali.

Meanwhile, Rafiq said the Gerai Prihatin Rakyat incentive would continue in an effort to empower local residents in rebuilding their economy.

“This initiative has been implemented at Hang Jebat Stadium, Ayer Molek, Serkam, and Telok Mas, and God willing, we will extend it to the parliamentary constituencies of Masjid Tanah and Alor Gajah,” he added.
