Melaka polls: Evaluate Ab Rauf's leadership based on facts, not baseless claims

MASJID TANAH: Melaka voters should focus on the state government's achievements rather than be influenced by baseless claims when deciding whom to support in the Nov 14 state election.

Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Johan Abd Aziz said caretaker Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ab Rauf Yusoh's administrative track record spoke for itself and should be the basis for voters to evaluate the state government.

"From the very beginning, I have told all Melaka residents not to listen to all the nonsense, but to focus on the facts.

"The facts about Rauf's achievements since becoming Chief Minister are already out there. Those are the real facts," he said.

He was speaking to reporters after delivering a campaign speech in Kampung Lubok Redan, in the Tanjung Bidara state constituency. Also present was Ab Rauf, who is Melaka Barisan Nasional chairman.

Johan, who is also Dusun Tua assemblyman, said cooperation between BN and Perikatan Nasional in Melaka was another important step towards demonstrating unity and forming a stronger government.

He said election machinery coordination across all 28 state constituencies had begun before nomination day through meetings with local leaders.

The effort would continue throughout the campaign, with the aim of strengthening ties between the two coalitions and potentially paving the way for broader cooperation at federal level.

"Melaka is very important. We are proving our unity here. If we succeed in all 28 (constituencies), this will be proof that the people of Malaysia are rising and want to see a more united government," he said.
