Melaka Polls: Ginie Lim Takes Campaign To Orang Asli Villages In Machap Jaya

ALOR GAJAH, Nov 9 (Bernama) -- As campaigning for the 16th Melaka State Election enters its second week, Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for the Machap Jaya state seat Datuk Ginie Lim Siew Lin has stepped up efforts to woo voters, extending her outreach to Orang Asli communities in the constituency.

She said her visits to seven Orang Asli villages were aimed not only at garnering voter support but also at highlighting the communities' important role in the state's democratic process.

“With many voters at home for the festive holidays, we have had the chance to meet them. So far, we have visited all seven Orang Asli villages,” she told reporters here yesterday.

Lim said the outreach efforts were also supported by the dedication of PH campaign workers, who made time to meet voters in remote areas, even on public holidays.

“I want to thank our campaign teams for their contributions and cooperation. Even though it was a holiday, they still made time to come together and meet voters,” she said.

Meanwhile, Lims urged voters to return home and exercise their right to vote on polling day to elect a representative who would represent the people in the constituency.

The Machap Jaya state seat will see a three-cornered fight involving Lim, incumbent Datuk Ngwe Hee Sem of Barisan Nasional and Prasanth Kumar Brakasam of Parti Bersama Malaysia.

Polling is on Nov 14, with early voting set for Tuesday (Nov 10).
