Jadikan krisis N Sembilan pengajaran, beri PH kembali tadbir Melaka, kata Mat Sabu

Amanah Mohamad Sabu, the President of Amanah, has urged Melaka voters to return governance to Pakatan Harapan (PH) and believes a coalition under PH could form the state government if it secures over 15 seats in the Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN). The call comes in the wake of political turmoil in Negeri Sembilan, which Sabu believes serves as a lesson for the rest of the country.

Following the April political crisis, 14 Umno MPs withdrew their support from Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun in early May, citing loss of trust in his ability to manage the crisis. The fallout from this led to the dissolution of the state assembly and the holding of the PRN election on August 1st. Sabu stressed that the political events in the country after the 14th general election, including the Sheraton Move, should not be repeated.

The Sheraton Move, he explained, involved moving power around in the middle of the political cycle, which he deemed unwise. He urged the formation of a government through elections, rather than one toppled by power struggles before the people get a chance to vote again. When discussing the upcoming Melaka PRN election, Sabu stated that he is confident PH would be able to form the state government if it wins more than 15 DUN seats, with BN securing fewer than its share.

He emphasized that Melaka is a place where Malaysia's politics need to be grounded again. The Melaka PRN election is scheduled for November 14th, following the dissolution of the state assembly on September 23rd. The DUN Melaka has 28 seats.
