Melaka:Barisan Nasional (BN) has been urged to provide detailed evidence supporting its assertion that it fulfilled 97 percent of its manifesto promises for the 15th Melaka State Election in 2021, as stated by Melaka Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Adly Zahari.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Adly called on Melaka BN to present a comprehensive list of achievements, allowing the public to evaluate the implementation status of the 103 initiatives outlined in the manifesto across five main thrusts. He emphasized the importance of transparency in presenting these achievements so that voters can assess the actual implementation outcomes beyond mere percentage figures.

Adly, who is seeking to retain the Bukit Katil seat in the upcoming 16th Melaka State Election, highlighted the state government's financial deficit in 2024, with revenue reported at RM490 million against an expenditure of RM519 million, based on a summary of the Auditor-General's Report. He stressed the need for prudent financial management and proper documentation of spending decisions to produce verifiable results.

He also noted that Melaka recorded a financial surplus of RM50 million in 2019 during his tenure as the state administrator. Through its "Melaka Rumah Kita" aspirations, PH aims to offer governance characterized by cleanliness, transparency, and integrity, ensuring prudent management of public funds.

Adly asserted that voters deserve clear information on the state government's achievements to make informed decisions ahead of the state election. The Election Commission has set November 14 as polling day for the Melaka state election, with early voting scheduled for November 10.
