  "account": "Melaka's Tanjung Kling constituency will see 150 Pantai Puteri traders retain their businesses following coastal reclamation works. Barisan Nasional candidate Datuk Tuminah Kadi assured traders that all 150 will be relocated and reorganized as part of beautification efforts, refuting claims that businesses would close. Tuminah is contesting her seat against Bersatu's Datin Seri Dr Asmah Samat. She urged traders to seek clarification directly from her and promised not a single stall would be closed. Tuminah unveiled plans for recreational areas, camping sites, pedestrian walkways and food zones during a walkabout at Pantai Puteri. She also highlighted lights installed along the beach as a successful initiative under her tenure. Tuminah intends to engage more voters over the next week, hoping support translates into votes on Nov 14 to help Barisan Nasional form the government again.",
