The Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition in Negeri Sembilan reports a smooth election campaign, stating that no significant issues related to state development or public welfare are currently hindering their efforts. Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, the Negeri Sembilan PH Chairman, asserted that the state government has proactively addressed and resolved many of the public's concerns.
"Many things have been resolved, many things have been implemented that were previously issues for the public, from the early stages," Aminuddin stated. He added that land and local community issues have been settled, contributing to the absence of major problems overshadowing their election campaign. The coalition believes they have resolved most matters amicably and harmoniously, noting a lack of serious public complaints.
Aminuddin, who is also a PH candidate for the Linggi State Legislative Assembly, acknowledged that the typical concerns raised are minor, such as road maintenance, drainage issues, and problems with monkeys affecting local farming. He emphasized that there are no substantial issues currently plaguing the government's operations.
Furthermore, Aminuddin expressed support for the Negeri Sembilan Islamic Religious Affairs Department's decision to temporarily suspend the religious teaching licenses of politicians and candidates during the state election campaign. He believes this measure, which should have been implemented earlier, prevents the misuse of mosques and prayer halls for political campaigning.
