In an online dialogue with DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng, Adly claimed that BN was already concerned over the comparisons Melakans had drawn from the 22 months PH led the state government following the 14th general election (GE14).

“What they (BN) are really worried about is that we can deliver the prosperity that the people want and bring stability to the state. This is because in such a situation, the rakyat can draw comparisons between PH and previous BN administrations.

“We governed (Melaka) for only 22 months, and that 22 months is what BN fears. The people can compare what was done by BN and what was done by PH, though it was just for 22 months,” said the former chief minister.

As part of PH’s aim to boost tourism in Melaka, Adly said he will seek to resume domestic flights into the state from destinations like Langkawi, Kota Bharu and Penang.

He also wants to directly connect Melaka to East Malaysia by introducing flights to and from Kuching as well as Kota Kinabalu, to boost domestic tourism and the state’s economy.

Adly is defending the Bukit Katil seat and will face Perikatan Nasional’s Muhammad Al Hafiz Yahya, BN’s Hasnoor Husin, and independent candidate Abdul Hamid.
