Negeri sembilan: Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun has called on voters to consider the government's measures to resolve Linggi's long-standing flood problem, rather than letting the issue be exploited for political gain ahead of the 16th state election.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Aminuddin, who is also the Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for the Linggi state seat, stated that the government has never taken the issue lightly. Two flood mitigation projects in the area have been approved and are now being implemented through collaboration between the state and federal governments.

"Alhamdulillah, both flood mitigation projects have been approved and are currently being implemented. These projects take time to complete and cannot be resolved within a day or two. We hope they will help address the flooding problem in Linggi moving forward," Aminuddin told reporters after performing Friday prayers today.

The matter gained traction on social media, with claims that Linggi frequently floods whenever prolonged heavy rain occurs in Seremban. Aminuddin emphasized the government's approach to resolving problems through proper planning and infrastructure projects rather than playing on sentiments to gain political support.

As the Negeri Sembilan PH chairman, Aminuddin highlighted the coalition's reliance on its track record and ongoing development efforts as its offering to voters, leaving the opposition's political strategies for the public to assess. "We are offering services that have been proven throughout our administration of the state. Whatever strategy our opponents adopt, I leave it to the wisdom and maturity of Negeri Sembilan voters to make their decision," he said.

The Election Commission has set tomorrow as nomination day for the state polls, followed by early voting on July 28 and polling day on Aug 1.
