ALOR GAJAH: Preserving Naning's rich historical legacy while creating new economic opportunities for local entrepreneurs are among the priorities of Pakatan Harapan candidate Junainah Sahat if she wins the Taboh Naning seat.
Better known as Ajue Sahat, she said the area's historical significance should be highlighted as part of Melaka's tourism offerings, rather than allowing popular attractions such as A Famosa and the Hang Tuah Mausoleum to dominate the state's tourism landscape.
"Taboh Naning is the original land of Naning and has its own historical significance. Apart from preserving its heritage, I also want to elevate its status here.
"When I am in Taboh Naning, what is closest to my heart is its heritage and history, including how our ancestors became warriors who fought against rulers and colonial powers," she said when met during a walkabout in Taboh Naning here yesterday.
