The 16th Melaka state election is underway, with parties vying for voter support through promises of growth, stability, and reform. The Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) are teaming up under the Muafakat Melaka arrangement, pledging economic growth and development, including attracting RM30 billion in investments and freezing quit rent increases for five years.
BN claims to have fulfilled 97% of its 2021 manifesto promises, while PH chairman Adly Zahari disputes this figure.
