Politics : Melaka Polls: PH’s Rembia Candidate Finds Time For Family Amid Busy Campaign

In Melaka's Gadek constituency, Barisan Nasional candidate S. Nadarajah has managed to find time for Deepavali celebrations amidst his extensive campaign efforts. On a typical day, he began early by visiting five local temples to meet with voters who were celebrating the festival, dressed in traditional attire. Many approached the candidate to greet him and take photos.

After visiting the temples, Nadarajah headed to an event in Kampung Gadek, where he engaged with the community, including children, teenagers, and youths. Despite his busy schedule, which included sepak takraw activities and a meeting, the candidate emphasized that he had anticipated the need to make sacrifices in his personal life for the sake of his political ambitions.

When asked about his family, he mentioned that he had contacted them the previous day and managed to meet them after midnight. This morning, he asked his family to join him at a campaign site.

Nadarajah is aiming to meet 7,000 voters during the election period and has already spoken to around 2,000. He plans to intensify his voter outreach through various programs like campaign speeches, village feasts, and sports activities. Three Deepavali celebrations are also planned in the Gadek constituency, with each expected to attract about 500 attendees.

The candidate is facing four other candidates in the four-cornered contest, which includes Jegasilan Kungamboo from Pakatan Harapan, Laveen Balaprabhakaran from Bersama, and Laila Norinda Maon from Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia.
