PH's decades-long bond must endure, says Saifuddin
MELAKA: Pakatan Harapan was built on decades of camaraderie that must be upheld by all component parties, candidates and election machinery.
Pakatan Harapan's bond, forged over decades, must endure, according to PH secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. The coalition's strength is rooted in shared political goals, mutual trust, respect, and loyalty, which have persisted since 1998. This camaraderie, not a fleeting relationship, continues to this day and is a valuable political virtue, Saifuddin emphasized.
He spoke at a Melaka PH candidate announcement and election machinery launch at Hang Jebat Stadium. The opposition movement evolved through Barisan Alternatif, Pakatan Rakyat, and finally PH, overcoming political trials in five general elections. Saifuddin stressed that a coalition's true test is managing public trust once in power, using its mandate for political stability, economic prosperity, public welfare, good governance, and prudent financial management.
He called for stronger cooperation among component parties during elections, with each party supporting their counterparts. Saifuddin recalled his early political days, including accompanying Mohamad Sabu on political campaigns and handling public address systems and lighting, highlighting the sacrifices made to build the political movement.
