JASIN, Oct 31 — A father’s advice to always remain strong and broad-minded has inspired Melaka Amanah Wanita chief Rahayu Hamzah to take on the challenge of contesting the Merlimau state seat for Pakatan Harapan (PH) in the 16th Melaka state election.
She said the advice had become her guiding principle, particularly as she prepares to face Barisan Nasional (BN) incumbent Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh.
Acknowledging Dr Muhamad Akmal’s strong social media influence as Umno Youth chief, Rahayu said she remained confident of PH’s support among voters in the constituency.
“We recognise his social media influence, but we are prepared. I believe in the support of voters on the ground, and that is why I am ready to take on this challenge,” she told reporters here today.
