  • Negeri Sembilan's state government, led by Pakatan Harapan (PH), claims current investment and revenue increases are the result of its administration's efforts.
  • PH Negeri Sembilan Chairman Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun acknowledged Barisan Nasional's (BN) role in ensuring political stability within the Unity Government framework.
  • Aminuddin stated that the high investment figures are due to five years of planning and promotional efforts by himself and Exco Perindustrian, Teo Kok Siong, refuting claims that BN was solely responsible.

The state government of Negeri Sembilan, under the administration of Pakatan Harapan (PH), asserts that the current surge in investment and revenue is a direct outcome of its governance. However, PH Negeri Sembilan Chairman Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun also recognized the contribution of Barisan Nasional (BN) in maintaining political stability following the formation of the Unity Government.

The increase in investment and revenue recorded in Negeri Sembilan at this time is the result of the state government's administration under Pakatan Harapan (PH).

Aminuddin emphasized that the impressive investment figures did not materialize overnight. He attributed them to strategic planning and promotional activities undertaken over the past five years, predating the recent state election. He specifically highlighted his own role and that of Exco Perindustrian dan Hal Ehwal Bukan Islam, Teo Kok Siong, in these efforts.

"We had been working for five years before that. I was the Investment Exco, while Brother Teo was the Industry Exco," Aminuddin explained. He was responding to statements by Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias, Chairman of the Negeri Sembilan UMNO Liaison Body, who suggested that BN was a significant partner in the state's investment and revenue growth, not solely the PH administration.

The high investment value achieved now did not happen suddenly, but is the result of planning and efforts implemented before the Negeri Sembilan State Election.

Aminuddin further noted that the common ground found in the manifestos of BN and Perikatan Nasional (PN) with PH's own manifesto indicates an acceptance of the current state government's approach. "Indeed, they copied from PH, showing they accept and acknowledge that what PH has done is the best. If we look at what they are doing, it is similar," he remarked.
