"If he is elected as the assemblyman for this constituency, he will be able to serve the residents," she told Bernama after joining Denesh on a community outreach visit at Felda Bukit Senggeh yesterday, in conjunction with the 16th Melaka State Election.

Meanwhile, Denesh said he had temporarily suspended his campaign activities yesterday to pay his last respects to his representative, J. Samivel, who died in an accident yesterday afternoon.

Describing Samivel as a mentor, Denesh said he had been among those who provided him with the greatest support throughout his political journey, remaining by his side since the campaign began.

"He was my strongest pillar of support from the very beginning until today. He was incredibly passionate, even more so than I was. He never stopped supporting me, and this loss means I have lost a key driving force," he said.

Denesh said he resumed the campaign today, maintaining its existing approach of conducting house-to-house visits to engage with voters across the Asahan constituency, which had previously been considered a difficult area for PH to penetrate.

He said encouraging developments had emerged, with PH receiving a more positive response from residents in several areas that were previously perceived as less receptive to the coalition.

As the campaign enters its final stretch ahead of Saturday's Melaka state election, Denesh said the focus would be on reaching out to Malay voters and stepping up efforts to explain PH's proposals and plans to the local community.
