Melaka polls: PH candidate wants to put Naning's history on tourism map
ALOR GAJAH: Preserving Naning's rich historical legacy while creating new economic opportunities for local entrepreneurs are among the priorities of Pakatan Harapan candidate Junainah Sahat if she wins the Taboh Naning seat.
In Alor Gajah, Pakatan Harapan candidate Junainah Sahat, also known as Ajue Sahat, outlined her priorities for the Taboh Naning seat if elected. She emphasized preserving Naning's historical legacy and creating new economic opportunities for local entrepreneurs. Junainah believes Naning's historical significance should be highlighted as part of Melaka's tourism offerings, rather than allowing popular attractions like A Famosa and the Hang Tuah Mausoleum to dominate.
She stated that developing historical sites, such as Dol Said's Mausoleum, into tourism attractions could draw more visitors to the Naning community's history and struggle. To foster local business growth, she proposed setting up an entrepreneur hub for small and medium enterprises and handicraft producers. Junainah assured that any development in Taboh Naning would preserve the area's unique identity and historical values, ensuring progress doesn't compromise its heritage.
Her campaign activities have been progressing well, with positive responses from residents during walkabouts, shoplot visits, home engagements, and social media outreach. Junainah faces incumbent Datuk Zulkiflee Mohd Zin of Barisan Nasional in a tight contest for the state seat.
