MELAKA: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim continued Pakatan Harapan’s campaign in Melaka, meeting voters and traders in Taman Krubong Jaya before heading to Machap Baru to boost campaign for the coalition’s candidates ahead of polling day.
The Prime Minister, who is also Pakatan chairman began his walkabout at a row of shophouses and Malay hawker stalls in Taman Krubong Jaya, stopping to greet voters ahead of tomorrow’s polling.
Accompanied by Paya Rumput candidate Datuk Azman Abidin, Anwar spent around 30 minutes mingling with hawkers, traders and residents, many of whom took the opportunity to greet him and take photographs.
He then made his way to Machap Baru New Village in Alor Gajah, and walked through the night market, shaking hands and greeting traders and visitors, accompanied by candidate Datuk Ginie Lim.
Anwar later took to the stage and greeted the crowd in Mandarin with “da jia hao” (Hello, everyone).
He said he had visited Machap five years ago and had returned to show his support for Lim, adding that he hoped to bring about change.
Anwar left the area after his brief address, with his visit lasting about 20 minutes, and headed to other locations for more Pakatan campaign programmes.
According to the Election Commission, there are 687,697 registered voters who are eligible to cast their ballots tomorrow.
In the 16th Melaka polls, 79 candidates including three independents, are contesting across 28 state seats.
