PENANG Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Chow Kon Yeow has expressed hope that MCA and MIC members and supporters will support PH and Barisan Nasional (BN) candidates in the state polls.

He said though MCA and MIC will not be contesting, they can still work to ensure victory for unity government candidates.

“I believe MCA and MIC made the decision (not to contest) after studying the latest political situation and their performances in the previous elections.

“We should be prepared to remove hurdles in our way if we want this unity alliance to achieve victory in the state polls,’’ he said in George Town today.

Chow was speaking to reporters after the presentation of a Malaysia Book of Records certificate to Galeri Haji Pulau Pinang in Lebuh Acheh for being the first haj gallery in Malaysia.

Chow said the PH-BN election manifesto for Penang may be unveiled the week before nomination day on July 29.

Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, Penang, Selangor and Negri Sembilan go to the polls on August 12. – Bernama, July 6, 2023.
