Let’s talk Machap Jaya’s future: Pakatan hopeful hands out invitation cards, Bersama candidate says yes, BN incumbent says now is time for work

Poo Long Suan, the Pakatan Harapan candidate for the Duyong state seat in Melaka, has emphasized the importance of face-to-face interactions over online presence in politics. The 43-year-old, who is up against incumbent Datuk Mohd Noor Helmy Abdul Halem, believes that meeting voters in person is crucial to understanding their needs and concerns. Although he recognizes the value of social media, Poo insists that an elected representative's primary duty is to serve the people through direct engagement.

Having served as a member of the Hang Tuah Jaya Municipal Council, Poo plans to leverage his experience, knowledge, and achievements to benefit the people of Duyong. He acknowledges that enhancing residents' well-being requires time, particularly as several aspects of local development still need improvement. Key areas for enhancement include infrastructure, economic development, and traffic management, which could significantly improve residents' convenience and quality of life.

Poo's opponent, incumbent Datuk Mohd Noor Helmy Abdul Halem, currently holds the seat. The 16th Melaka state election is scheduled for November 14, with early voting on November 10. For the most recent updates on the election, readers can visit https://election.bernama.com/prn/melaka/2026/.
