In Melaka, 88-year-old Uncle Wong, also known as Vong Fook Hoi, has remained steadfast in backing Barisan Nasional candidate Datuk Mohd Noor Helmy Abdul Halem despite the rain and his advancing years. On Tuesday, Uncle Wong joined the assemblyman at the Seri Duyong night market, where they engaged with local traders and visitors.
The bond between the two dates back five years, during which Noor Helmy has consistently provided assistance to Uncle Wong. Even when the weather is unfavorable, Uncle Wong expresses his desire to continue supporting Noor Helmy's campaign at the night market. He encourages Duyong voters to participate in the upcoming Nov 14 state election and has been urging his friends to cast their votes for Noor Helmy, the second candidate on the ballot paper.
Mohamed Noor Maaruf, an 80-year-old founder of the night market, noted the positive changes in the constituency since Noor Helmy became its assemblyman. He believes that having a caring assemblyman makes it easier for businesses to thrive. The Duyong seat is currently a two-way race between Noor Helmy and the Pakatan Harapan candidate Poo Long Suan. Noor Helmy secured the seat in the 2021 state election with 4,684 votes.
