Melaka:Security personnel must be allowed to make independent decisions when voting in the 16th Melaka State Election (PRN), free from any form of pressure, in keeping with the principle of ballot secrecy in a democratic process.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Acting chairman of the Melaka PKR State Leadership Council (MPN), Adam Adli Abd Halim, emphasized that all forms of pressure on voters must be avoided. He also highlighted the importance of curbing the spread of misleading information to allow voters to assess candidates and election promises objectively.

Adam Adli stressed that every vote is important and valuable. He advised that voters should make careful considerations based on the candidates' administrative track records, credibility, and ability to fulfill their commitments. He also insisted that voting must be conducted in an orderly manner, following the instructions of Election Commission (EC) officers.

During a press conference at the Pakatan Harapan (PH) Main Operations Room in Bukit Piatu, Adam Adli expressed his appreciation for the dedication of security personnel in safeguarding the country's peace and security. Melaka PH deputy chairman Khoo Poay Tiong was also present at the event.

Adam Adli hoped that those scheduled to cast their ballots during early voting would be able to fulfill their responsibilities smoothly. EC statistics indicate that a total of 9,769 military personnel and their spouses, as well as 2,762 police personnel, are eligible to cast their ballots during early voting today.
