MALACCA POLLS | Pakatan Harapan is pitching the federal government’s economic achievements and promises to tackle bread-and-butter issues as its main selling points in the Malacca state election.

As campaigning kicked off today, Harapan secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the coalition would focus on its governing track record, job opportunities and the cost of living, rather than engage in political attacks or speculation over post-election alliances.

At the same time, the coalition also pledges to steer clear of racial rhetoric and political mudslinging.

“Our red line is to completely reject the politics of hatred, the politics of incitement, and politics that is based on the idea that to defend our race, we must oppress other races.
