MELAKA: Barisan Nasional has not had an easy ride during the two-week Melaka polls campaign, but winning voters’ confidence remains at the heart of its efforts, says Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh.
The Melaka Barisan chairman said while the campaign had been less difficult than previous elections, the coalition had taken none of the work on the ground lightly.
“The two-week campaign has not been easy, although it has not been as difficult as before.
“But we do not take lightly the contributions of those working together to win the people’s confidence,” he said when interviewed on Friday (Nov 13).
With campaigning drawing to a close, Ab Rauf said voters would now deliver their verdict through the ballot box.
He also urged them to turn up early for polling this Saturday, with rain expected to affect travel to polling stations by afternoon.
“Go out early to fulfil your responsibility. Rain is expected and this could affect your journey to the polling stations,” he said.
On Thursday, media reported that the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) had forecast cloudy conditions in the morning, followed by thunderstorms in the afternoon, across all three districts in the state on polling day for the 16th Melaka state election.
