JOHOR BAHRU: Pakatan Harapan (PH) today launched its manifesto for the July 11 election in Johor, outlining its vision and proposed initiatives to make the southern state the “Shenzhen of Southeast Asia”.
This references Shenzhen’s growth into a technology hub and the third most populous city in China after decades of trailing behind neighbouring Hong Kong.
PH’s key proposed initiatives include a programme aimed at bringing 20,000 professionals currently in Singapore back to Johor by 2031 through various job and entrepreneurship incentives.
The coalition also plans to provide 500,000 Johoreans with up to RM100,000 in public health insurance coverage, particularly those in the B40 and M40 income groups, as well as the disabled.
It also pledged to give RM8,000 to 50,000 young families to help them pay the down payments for their first home, while providing easier financing and rent-to-own schemes, and building 80,000 affordable homes over the next five years.
PH likewise plans to distribute a RM1,000 bonus for each child born in Johor, set up 250 Madani childcare centres to help women return to the workforce, and introduce a RM50 monthly public transport pass for students, senior citizens, and the disabled.
