Rengit: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has pledged to resolve the long-standing problems of dilapidated health facilities and water supply disruptions affecting residents in Rengit, saying basic infrastructure must reflect Johor's status as a developed state. He emphasized that access to healthcare facilities and clean water were basic rights that should never be neglected and must be addressed without delay.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Anwar stated, "We want clinics to treat sick people, not clinics that are themselves in poor condition," during Pakatan Harapan's (PH) 'Serumpun Kasih Sejiwa Harmoni Grand Finale' programme for the Rengit constituency. The programme was one of three campaign events attended by Anwar in Johor in support of PH candidates and election machinery ahead of polling for the 16th Johor state election on Saturday.

The event saw the presence of Sri Gading MP and Johor Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) chairman Aminolhuda Hassan, as well as PH candidate for the Rengit seat, Yazid Abu Bakar. Anwar highlighted that basic necessities such as water supply, housing, education, and healthcare facilities must remain the government's top priorities.

In his address, Anwar also reminded government officials and community leaders to discharge their responsibilities with integrity and not abuse their positions for personal gain. He urged the voters to elect representatives aligned with the Federal Government to ensure development initiatives could be implemented more efficiently and effectively.

For the state election, PH is contesting all 56 seats, comprising 20 candidates from PKR, 19 from Amanah, and 17 from DAP.
