THE new government which will be formed after the Malacca polls must be fair to the Portuguese community despite their political affiliations, community leader Marina Danker said.

Danker told The Malaysian Insight whichever party that takes over the state government should help the community regardless of who they had voted for.

Polling for the state elections will take place on November 20 after four assemblymen withdrew support for Chief Minister Sulaiman Md Ali and his Umno-led government, which led to the dissolution of the state legislative assembly.

Danker, who heads the Portuguese settlement community development and safety committee, said the new state government must understand that the people need them. – November 16, 2021.
