Calon PH Kelebang mahu selesai masalah nelayan, pesawah

Farzana Hayani Nasir, a candidate for the Pakatan Harapan (PH) party in the Kelebang constituency, has pledged to address the concerns of fishermen and seamen in the upcoming PRN Melaka 14 November election. As a 26-year-old, Farzana visited fishermen in Jeti Kampung Pinang to listen to their issues, which include poor fishing gear maintenance and lack of proper anchorage. She spoke about these concerns with FMT at the PH Melaka Main Branch office.

Farzana also mentioned that her issues were brought to the attention of Kewangan Kamil Munim and related agencies such as the Fisheries Development Corporation (LKIM) and the Water and Irrigation Department (JPS). She confirmed that a request for repairs to damaged equipment and inadequate lighting had been approved and that the repairs will be carried out this week. JPS has also inspected the area and will work on the repairs this week.

As a former Youth Leader of PKR and Deputy Youth Leader of PKR Melaka, Farzana emphasized the need for job opportunities for young people in her constituency. She noted that many young people from Melaka are forced to work in other states for better earnings to support their families. Farzana aims to create more job opportunities within the region to prevent young people from migrating to other states for work.

She admitted that she faces a challenge when competing against Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Lim Ban Hong in the four-corner contest, but said that her connection to the area is one of the reasons she chose to contest in Kelebang. In the PRN Melaka, Farzana faced off against BN candidate Lim, MP Mohamad Ali Mohamad from Bersatu, and Young Jie Yu from Bersama. Lim won Kelebang in the 2021 PRN with 876 votes.
