KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on members of the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM), their spouses and Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) personnel involved in the early voting process in the 16th Melaka State Election tomorrow to place their trust in PH candidates.

In a Facebook post today, the prime minister said the mandate entrusted to them would be upheld with commitment and determination to serve all the people of Melaka.

“Tomorrow, our friends and families from the ATM and PDRM will fulfil their responsibilities as early voters in Melaka. With humility, I appeal for your trust by voting for Harapan candidates.

“Your votes will determine whether Melaka is led by those who stand firm in upholding the people’s trust or those who are willing to turn a blind eye when that trust is betrayed. To Allah SWT, we surrender,” he added.

A total of 12,531 eligible early voters, comprising 9,769 military personnel and their spouses and 2,762 police personnel will cast their ballots across 31 gazetted early polling centres statewide tomorrow.

Overall, 687,697 electors are eligible to vote in the state election. The Election Commission has set polling day for November 14.
