SEREMBAN: A political analyst has praised the efficiency of the Pakatan Harapan government in administering Negri Sembilan, stating that over 95% of the pledges in their 14th General Election manifesto were successfully implemented. Dr Mohd Azmir Mohd Nizah from Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (Usim) commended the state government for prioritizing the trust given by the people, despite the challenges faced by Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun during his term as mentri besar, including political uncertainty at the Federal level and the Covid-19 pandemic. Mohd Azmir stated in a recent interview that 95% to 97% of the key performance indicators (KPI) in the 2018 manifesto have been achieved. He added that if voters believe this is the best for them, there is no reason to choose another party in the upcoming state election. Furthermore, Mohd Azmir highlighted Aminuddin’s diplomatic administration alongside DAP and Amanah as another reason for their success.
Some of the key pledges fulfilled include the construction of 27,688 units of affordable housing under the Rumah Harapan Rakyat Negri Sembilan program, increased state revenue reaching RM566 million in 2021 and RM522 million last year, and an investment of RM9 billion last year. Meanwhile, Mujibu Abd Muis, a fellow at Universiti Teknologi Mara’s Institution of Malay Rulers Chair, commended Aminuddin for his leadership and credibility in a state that follows Adat Perpatih, stating that his achievements in high investment and economic initiatives have greatly benefited the people. Muis also expressed the desire of the people of Negri Sembilan to see the government’s plans for the state to become a developed state come to fruition, noting the tremendous potential for economic growth due to nearby rapid development.
“It is time for the government to focus on achieving the status of a developed state,” Muis emphasized. “If you look at the economic spillover thanks to rapid development (nearby), the potential to achieve this status is huge.” – Bernama
