JOHOR BAHRU, July 4 — The people of Johor need leaders and elected representatives who are wise in assessing priorities, have the courage to make decisions and truly understand the pulse of the people, said Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said the coalition would continue to carry the people’s voice, defend the state’s interests and drive Johor to become more developed and great for all.
“Johor Progresses. Vote Harapan,” he said through a video clip on his official Facebook in conjunction with the 16th Johor state election.
The Prime Minister also called on the PH machinery to work hard to ensure the victory of the party’s candidates in this poll.
“We want to elect elected representatives and leaders who represent the interests of the people in Johor, the people of Malaysia, Malays, Chinese, Indians work together, build this nation, raise this state to be great,” he said.
Anwar began PH’s first day of campaigning in Johor by attending seven programmes in several areas to reach out to the people and provide support to the coalition’s candidates.
The programmes included meetings with the people, talks, socialising and programmes with the local community, as an effort to strengthen voter support for PH ahead of polling day.
In this poll, PH has fielded candidates in all 56 state constituencies, including 20 PKR candidates, 19 Amanah candidates and 17 from DAP.
Overall, the Johor polls saw a total of 172 candidates contesting for the 56 state seats.
Polling day is set for July 11, while early voting is on July 7.
