At the Institut Perguruan Raja Melewar Sikamat voting centre, where caretaker chief minister Aminuddin Harun was casting his vote, some voters told CNA that they were hoping that the current government would continue administering the state.
Aminuddin, who is vice-president of Anwar’s Parti Keadilan Rakyat, had held the Sikamat seat for four terms, but in this election, he will be contesting the Linggi seat, which is an UMNO stronghold.
Finance executive, Muhammad Arif Zulkifli, 27, told CNA that he hoped for Aminuddin to continue the good work he had done in the state.
“He is someone who is easy to reach and contact, so we hope that continues. Also, if I may add, having more religious talks at the local mosques would be great. I live in this area and would love to see more of these programmes,” he said.
The Sikamat state seat is seeing a three-cornered fight between Bersatu’s Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz, Nor Azman Mohamad of PH, and Razali Abu Samah of PN.
Insurance executive Chloe Chai, 36, who returned to vote from Singapore, hoped that the state government would realise its proposed plan to upgrade the train station in Seremban, similar to the Kuala Lumpur central station.
“It would be easier for me to commute back to Seremban soon if this really happens. Because currently, the Seremban train station is quite old,” she said.
