MELAKA, Nov 9 — Competitively paid job opportunities and assistance for the upkeep of places of worship are among the key issues raised by the Indian community in the Paya Rumput state constituency, which they hope will receive attention from the candidates elected during the Melaka state election.
Mechanical engineer Sathesh Kumaar A/L Gunasegaran, 24, said graduate employability and competitive salaries were important benchmarks in determining who should be elected to serve the residents of Paya Rumput.
He said the state government and the incoming elected representative should formulate initiatives to narrow the salary gap in Melaka and bring it closer to the level offered in states such as Johor, in order to prevent the migration of local talent.
