Syaza Shukri says pro-Malay sentiment among Malay voters and anti-government sentiment among the non-Malays may carry more weight than economic concerns in Melaka’s upcoming state polls.PETALING JAYA: Young voters in Melaka want better-paying jobs and affordable homes, but whether these concerns will determine how they vote on Nov 14 remains to be seen.

Masjid Tanah MP Mas Ermieyati Samsudin said the issue was not simply about creating employment, but also about ensuring young adults earn enough to raise families and build a future in the state.

The Wanita Wawasan chief said many in this voter segment were looking beyond political parties and personalities for leaders who understood the challenges they faced.
