Wi-Fi, laptops and a polyclinic: What Pakatan’s Adly Zahari wants to deliver in Bukit Katil

MELAKA, Oct 31 — Enhancing digital education facilities is among the key priorities of Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for the Bukit Katil state seat, Adly Zahari, should he be given the mandate in the 16th Melaka state election.

The incumbent said the effort was important to ensure that the younger generation in the constituency benefited from developments in digital technology, particularly in education, security and economic development.

“If I am given the mandate, my main focus will certainly be to improve digital education facilities for our children in the Bukit Katil state constituency, as well as for our entrepreneurs,” he told reporters after the nomination process at Dewan Tun Ali, Bukit Katil, here today.

The Amanah vice-president is facing a four-cornered contest against Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidate Ridzuan Sarif, Parti Bersama Malaysia (Bersama) candidate Dr Aliza Che Amran and independent candidate Abu Bakar Sabudin.

Adly, who is also Deputy Defence Minister, said digital education should be given priority, as a digitally literate generation could benefit the education sector while also contributing to stronger economic capabilities now and in the future.

He also said that completing the construction of a polyclinic in the constituency was another matter that needed attention.

“We have already obtained approval from the Ministry of Health (MOH), and we have secured the budget,” he said.

Commenting on the Melaka polls, Adly described the contest as one of the bigger challenges he had faced, with candidates from PN, Bersama and the independent camp also in the running.

However, he said his eight years of service in the Bukit Katil state constituency, including during the 22 months when PH was in government, provided a basis for voters to assess his track record.

“So, we (PH) leave it to the people to assess all the efforts we have made, and we will continue to serve them regardless of the outcome. We will certainly respect whatever decision the people make.

“However, we are appealing to the people to give us an opportunity to serve for a third term, and we are confident that our achievements will receive the support of voters in the Bukit Katil state constituency,” he said.

In the 15th Melaka state election, Adly secured a majority of 1,057 votes after defeating three other candidates, namely Datuk Hasnoor Sdg Husin of BN, Muhammad Al Afiz Yahya of PN and independent candidate Abdul Hamid.

The Election Commission (EC) has set November 14 as polling day for the Melaka state election, while early voting will take place on November 10.

马六甲，10月31日讯——如果希望联盟（PH）候选人阿德利·扎哈里在第16届马六甲州选举中获得武吉卡迪州议席，他将把加强数字教育设施列为首要任务之一。

现任议员表示，这项努力非常重要，可以确保选区内的年轻一代能够从数字技术的发展中受益，尤其是在教育、安全和经济发展方面。

“如果我获得授权，我的主要重点肯定是改善武吉卡迪州选区儿童和企业家的数字教育设施，”他今天在武吉卡迪敦阿里礼堂完成提名程序后告诉记者。

诚信党副主席面临四角逐，对手包括国盟候选人里祖安·沙里夫、马来西亚团结党候选人艾丽莎·谢阿姆兰博士和独立候选人阿布·巴卡·沙布丁。

阿德利同时也是国防部副部长，他表示应该优先发展数字教育，因为具备数字素养的一代人不仅能够使教育部门受益，还能为现在和未来的经济能力做出贡献。

他还表示，完成选区内综合诊所的建设是另一件需要关注的事情。

他说：“我们已经获得了卫生部的批准，并且预算也已到位。”

阿德利在评论马六甲选举时表示，这场选举是他面临的最大挑战之一，因为来自国盟、土著团结党和独立候选人阵营的候选人也参与了角逐。

不过，他表示，他在武吉卡迪尔州选区服务的八年，包括希望联盟执政的 22 个月，为选民评估他的政绩提供了依据。

“所以，我们（PH）将评估我们所做的一切努力的重任交给人民，无论结果如何，我们都将继续为人民服务。我们一定会尊重人民做出的任何决定。”

“然而，我们呼吁人民给我们第三次任期的机会，我们相信我们的政绩将得到武吉卡迪尔州选区选民的支持，”他说。

在第 15 届马六甲州选举中，阿德利击败了其他三位候选人，即国阵的拿督哈斯努尔·斯德格·胡辛、国民联盟的穆罕默德·阿尔·阿菲兹·叶海亚和独立候选人阿卜杜勒·哈米德，获得了 1,057 票的多数票。

选举委员会（EC）已将11月14日定为马六甲州选举的投票日，提前投票将于11月10日举行。
