Melaka election: Bread-and-butter issues high on voters' minds amid shifting political alliances

Political parties in Malaysia are making their final push for votes ahead of the Melaka state elections. More than 687,000 voters across all 28 constituencies will head to the polls on Nov 14. While bread-and-butter issues are high on voters' minds, shifting political alliances have added another dimension to the contest. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's Pakatan Harapan and its federal unity government partner, Barisan Nasional, have gone head-to-head in every state election this year. Barisan Nasional has entered the Melaka election in a seat-sharing pact with opposition Perikatan Nasional, currently dominated by Islamist party PAS. Ruzaini Rashid reports.
