Melaka polls: Full list of candidates

In the lead-up to the Melaka state election, the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition is set to unveil its manifesto, addressing key concerns such as the rising cost of living, job creation, and the future of young Malaysians. PH secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail highlighted the manifesto as one of the coalition's primary offerings to voters, complementing its proven administrative track record and commitment to tackling the issues that impact the populace.

Saifuddin stated that the PH manifesto would be released soon, providing specific details on their plans to generate job opportunities and alleviate the burden of the cost of living. During a press conference, he emphasized that the coalition's focus would also encompass the concerns of the younger generation regarding their future prospects.

Additionally, Saifuddin underscored that PH would showcase its administrative achievements in both state and federal realms to demonstrate its capacity to fulfill its policy commitments. The campaign, he added, would prioritize ideas, policies, candidates' capabilities, and the coalition's proven track record in addressing the concerns of the people, rather than engaging in personal attacks on political adversaries.

The PH manifesto will be guided by four core principles: maintaining political stability, bolstering the economy, prioritizing the welfare of the people, and upholding good governance.
