Melaka polls: BN manifesto to prioritise people's economy
MASJID TANAH: The people's economy, particularly efforts to help small traders improve their livelihoods, will be among the key focuses of Barisan Nasional's manifesto for the Melaka election.
Barisan Nasional, the ruling coalition in Malaysia, plans to make the people's economy a central theme in their manifesto for the upcoming Melaka state election. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh revealed that the party will prioritize policies aimed at improving the livelihoods of small traders and other economically disadvantaged groups.
Ab Rauf explained that the party would rely on feedback collected from citizens during various grassroots engagements, such as breakfast gatherings at coffee shops, to inform their economic strategies.
The chief minister expressed his interest in understanding how ordinary people manage to make ends meet in the current economic climate. He noted that these interactions would be instrumental in guiding BN's approach to developing policies that better serve the people's economic needs. Ab Rauf also shared his prediction that the party could secure an additional two or three seats beyond the 21 it won in the previous election.
However, he cautioned that these projections were still preliminary and that the party would continue to gather data on the ground to refine their expectations.
