MELAKA, Nov 8 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for the Ayer Molek seat, Muhammad Hakimin Mokhtar, wants to develop the constituency into an education and employment hub to create more job opportunities for residents if elected in the 16th Melaka state election.

The 35-year-old Melaka Angkatan Muda Keadilan chief said Ayer Molek had considerable potential to attract higher education institutions, such as MARA colleges or polytechnics, as well as business establishments that could stimulate the local economy.

He said the proposal was among the ideas that emerged from his engagements with residents during the campaign, with difficulties finding employment within their own area frequently raised as a major concern.
