Despite facing minor acts of sabotage, the Pakatan Harapan (PH) campaign for the Johor state election is progressing smoothly and receiving positive responses from residents, according to PKR Secretary-General Datuk Dr. Fuziah Salleh.
Fuziah noted that incidents such as torn posters, damaged billboards, and burned party flags have not deterred the campaign's momentum. "There are a few minor sabotage acts, including posters being torn, billboards being damaged, and flags being burned. Despite these disturbances, the campaign is generally proceeding calmly," she said.
The PH campaign machinery continues its daily activities from early morning until late at night, with candidates actively engaging with constituents. Fuziah observed a growing support, particularly among young voters who are keen to evaluate the candidates themselves. "Alhamdulillah, the campaign is going smoothly. Even candidates contesting for the first time are finding their rhythm. Support is increasing, especially from young voters who want to hear from and assess the candidates directly," she added.
Addressing the presence of top PH leaders in certain campaign locations in northern Johor, Fuziah suggested it was primarily due to logistical considerations, especially with Parliament in session. "I think it's just a matter of logistics. Parliament is currently in session, making movement and large-scale programs somewhat difficult for the campaign machinery," she explained.
