THE Pakatan Harapan (PH)-led Negri Sembilan government has fulfilled 97% of its 2018 general election (GE14) pledges in the last five years, says Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun. 

He said various forms of assistance were given to people – especially the B40 group, entrepreneurs, and women – during the Covid-19 pandemic.  

“The remaining 3% involves legislation on maternity leave at the federal level which cannot be amended as it involves the Public Service Department (JPA), so that is all that is left. Alhamdulillah, we have done the job, and this is a good thing. 

“On behalf of the state government, I would like to thank the people who had given us the mandate in the 14th general election,” he told a media conference after announcing the date of dissolution for the Negri Sembilan legislative assembly at Wisma Negeri today. 

The state assembly will be dissolved on Saturday (July 1) to make way for state polls to be held.  

Aminuddin said state revenue also increased during the five years of PH administration with the RM556 million collected in 2019 one of the highest recorded. Last year, RM521 million was recorded. 

There were also RM9 billion worth of investments recorded last year and this upward trend is expected to continue, he said.  

Aminuddin also expressed his appreciation to all state civil servants whom he said had always shown a strong commitment to ensuring the administration ran smoothly.  

“They changed ordinary work to the extraordinary; I know they will continue to do their best if given the opportunity,” he said. 

Negri Sembilan is among six states facing state polls besides Selangor, Terengganu, Penang, Kelantan, and Kedah.  

It has 36 state constituencies, with PH currently holding 20 seats (DAP-11, PKR-6, Amanah-3) while BN has 16 (Umno-15, MIC-1). – Bernama, June 28, 2023.
