Melaka polls: PH manifesto repeats existing state government's plans, says Bersama leader
MELAKA: Pakatan Harapan manifesto for the Melaka polls largely repeats the current state government's existing development plans, raising questions about whether the coalition has anything new to offer voters, a Parti Bersama Malaysia (Bersama) leader said.
MELAKA: A Parti Bersama Malaysia leader has questioned whether the Pakatan Harapan (PH) manifesto for the Melaka polls offers anything new compared to the current state government's existing development plans.
Lee Chean Chung highlighted several PH pledges in the Melaka Rumah Kita manifesto that mirrored targets already set by the state government. For instance, PH's aim to attract 25 million tourists to Melaka by 2032 appeared to align with the Melaka Tourism Master Plan's 2035 target of the same number of tourists and visitors.
The leader also criticized PH's ambition to transform Melaka into a smart state, questioning whether the coalition is offering reforms beyond the already existing Melaka Smart Blueprint 2035. He described PH's manifesto as a wish list lacking clear implementation plans, funding mechanisms, and measurable outcomes. Lee also questioned PH's proposal to tackle traffic congestion through AI, emphasizing the need for more detailed information on how the technology would be implemented.
