Pakatan Harapan’s victory in the upcoming state election is crucial for ensuring continued economic stability and recovery from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to caretaker Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari. He stated that the state government is currently focused on rebuilding the economy after the pandemic and urged voters to support the coalition.
Speaking at an event organized by the Selangor Indian Consultative Council (SICC), Amirudin claimed that the opposition is attempting to create instability and fuel racism in order to gain advantage. He further alleged that non-Malays within the opposition coalition are being exploited and treated as second-class citizens. To combat these issues, he called on the Indian community to come out in full force and support the Pakatan government in the upcoming election on Aug 12.
SICC chairman Charles Santiago stressed the importance of Indian support in ensuring a secure future. He pointed out that Indians make up about 10% of voters in over half of the constituencies in Selangor. Santiago also criticized the opposition for questioning the citizenship of non-Malays.
Santiago praised the Selangor government for their support and aid provided to the Indian community. He appealed to Indian voters to support Pakatan Harapan, stating that their victory with at least 80% of Indian voters would have a significant impact on the country’s future.
Although acknowledging that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Amirudin may not be perfect, Santiago commended their commitment to listening to the community’s problems and finding solutions. He emphasized that a small population like the Indian community could still make a substantial difference.
