MUAR: Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has urged Johor voters to choose leaders with integrity, wisdom and humility, warning against those who become arrogant once in power.
He said the choice of leaders was crucial in shaping the future of the state, adding that some factions exploited racial sentiments for support but failed to deliver once elected.
"For politics to succeed, people must read and listen. Do not exploit sentiments of hatred toward others. Think about what will happen to our country, our children, our grandchildren, our schools, our hospitals," he said at the PH Grand Rally here tonight.
Anwar, who is also prime minister, said elected leaders must remain grounded and focus on resolving the people's problems, especially those in need.
He said PH must win in Johor to ensure state policies aligned with the federal government's development agenda.
He said that alignment between state and federal governments was essential to ensure effective aid distribution and that the benefits of major projects reached the grassroots.
"That is why I say Pakatan Harapan must win in Johor so that we can bring change to the state. The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) was negotiated by us at the federal level. We are also expanding the Port of Tanjung Pelepas.
"I am not saying the state government did not help; they did. But who executed it? We did. So I want a representative state government and for policies to change. Do not worry about the projects, I will take care of them. I want the state government, state representatives and exco members to take care of the ordinary people," he added.
Anwar also urged Johor voters, including those living outside the state, to return home and fulfil their responsibility in the state election on July 11.
He said every vote was vital in driving policy change and ensuring the benefits of economic growth are enjoyed by all. - NST
