Among these initiatives, Adly highlighted a 15 per cent salary increase for civil servants achieved through the Public Service Remuneration System (SSPA), along with the government's endeavors to bolster the nation's economy. \"The government under the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, has followed through on its promises, like the salary raise,\" Adly stated during the press conference held at the Pakatan Harapan (PH) Main Operations Room in Bukit Baru. As PH candidate for the Bukit Katil state constituency, Adly emphasized his hopes for civil servants to also weigh the measures to enhance integrity, transparency, and national governance. He further explained that PH has been actively engaging with early voters, presenting the coalition's direction and the policies and initiatives introduced by the federal government that benefit them and their families. The Election Commission (EC) has designated tomorrow as the day for early voting in the 16th Melaka state election, with the official polling day set for November 14.
