Senggarang: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today took time to meet an elderly couple who gained attention after riding a trishaw to meet him during his breakfast stop at an eatery in Senggarang last Sunday. Anwar met Abdul Razak Pelangga, 86, and his wife, Jamilah Samsudin, 64, while attending the "Yok! Meriahkan Johor! Undi Harapan" programme in Senggarang.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the Prime Minister shared a moment with Abdul Razak, joking about the octogenarian's ability to pedal the trishaw before expressing gratitude to the couple for their support. The event was attended by Pakatan Harapan (PH) Communications director Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, who is also the Minister of Communications.

The programme also saw attendance from PH candidates Onn Abu Bakar for Senggarang, Mohd Khuzzan Abu Bakar for Semerah, and Felicia Poh Rui Ling for Penggaram. Bernama reported earlier that Abdul Razak pedalled his trishaw for nearly one kilometre to fulfil his wife's wish of meeting the Prime Minister during his breakfast stop in Senggarang last Sunday.

The Johor state election is scheduled to occur this Saturday, with early voting having taken place last Tuesday.
