Melaka polls: Farzana balances motherhood and politics in bid to reach voters
MELAKA: Being a mother to a two-year-old daughter has not deterred Farzana Hayani Mohd Nasir from campaigning in the 16th Melaka state election, with her daily schedule beginning as early as 5.30am.
Melaka: Balancing motherhood and politics, Farzana Hayani Mohd Nasir campaigns for the 16th Melaka state election. The PH candidate for Kelebang state seat starts her day at 5.30am, attending Subuh prayer and undertaking community visits, walks, sports, religious activities, and small-group talks. Known as Nana, Farzana is dedicated to engaging with voters, having already interacted with roughly half of the constituents in Kelebang.
Despite grueling hours, she remains motivated by positive public feedback. Residents' concerns such as flooding, high living costs, youth employment, single mothers' issues, and fishing challenges have been noted. Farzana plans to address these issues with authorities if given the mandate in the election. She faces four contenders: Datuk Lim Ban Hong (Barisan Nasional), Datuk Seri Mohamad Ali Mohamad (Bersatu), Young Jie Yu (Parti Bersama Malaysia), and herself. Melaka will vote on Nov 14, with early voting on Nov 10.
