PH komited teruskan peruntukan Adun pembangkang jika tadbir Melaka

Melaka's Pakatan Harapan (PH) party has committed to continuing financial allocations for defectors if they return to govern the state, just as they did when they were in power in 2018. Adly Zahari, the party's Melaka chairman, said the allocations were necessary to ensure all MPs had sufficient funds to fulfill their duties and serve the community.

When PH governed Melaka in 2018, they were the first state government to provide allocations to defectors. As a former defector, Zahari said the lack of allocations strained defectors' ability to manage offices and help the community in their areas. At minimum, basic necessities like operating center funds were crucial for rural residents.

While there were allocations through district offices and government agencies, Zahari stressed that financial resources from the state government were needed for wider benefits such as various forms of assistance. Regarding the reform of state administration, the PH candidate for DUN Bukit Katil hopes to expand digital initiatives, including the Smart Melaka system as a means for submitting assistance and complaints requests.

This approach aims to ensure assistance distribution and handling of public issues are carried out more clearly without political influence. Through this approach, every assistance request and public complaint submitted by MPs will be recorded in the system before being forwarded to relevant agencies for action, including decisions on approval or issue resolution.

The digital system also allows citizens to track the status of their complaints, including infrastructure-related issues like overflowing drains and fallen trees. It also helps the government monitor the actions taken. In relation to DUN Bukit Katil, Adly said 255 public complaints were received since the end of last year, with 231 resolved.

Of these, 101 involved issues related to drains, repairs, and infrastructure, while more than 80 concerned welfare, including medical equipment and assistance for children undergoing health treatment. In the PRN Melaka 16, Adly faced four opponents, including Muhammad Ridzuan Mohd Sarif from Perikatan Nasional (PN), Dr Aliza Che Amran from Bersatu Malaysia, and Abu Bakar Sabudin (Bebas).

In the 2021 PRN Melaka, he won the Bukit Katil seat with a 1,057-vote majority. The Election Commission has set 14 November as the election day, with the initial count beginning on November 10.
