PH urged to review its policy delivery and communication strategies following the Melaka election, as analysts highlight the importance of grassroots engagement and face-to-face campaigning

KUALA LUMPUR: The results of the 16th Melaka State Election demand that Pakatan Harapan (PH) reassess the effectiveness of the delivery system and the government’s communication machinery to ensure that all policies and initiatives implemented are truly understood by the grassroots.

Dr Muhamad Fuad Abdul Karim, a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Administrative Science and Policy Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), said that the PH-led government has implemented various targeted policies and aid for the people, but delivery gaps have caused the benefits to be less directly felt at the community level.
