00:00 Victory for the unity coalition in Selangor, Penang and Negeri Sembilan will quell rumours
00:06 of the unity government's collapse, says Bakatan Harapan's candidate in Bukit Gasing.
00:11 Taking the three states, Rajiv Rishakaran says, will be an indication of the people's
00:15 support for the stability brought by the unity government.
00:18 A comfortable win for the unity team in Selangor as well as Penang and Negeri Sembilan will
00:27 put an end to this.
00:29 Rajiv, who is seeking a third term as Bukit Gasing Assemblyman, is being challenged by
00:33 VKK Raja of Muda and D. Nalan of Perikatan Nasional for the state seat.
00:38 On his opponent Raja's call to introduce local council elections, Rajiv says he supports
00:43 the idea but believes it is unlikely to be implemented in the current government's term.
00:48 We are running now as a coalition of 19 parties nationally and the policies that we put forward
00:55 are the ones that we can agree in consensus. That means we have to give and take on this.
01:01 So it's understandable. If we win the government outright, then these are the policies that
01:06 the whole country accepts. But the country is not ready for that yet.
01:10 If re-elected Bukit Gasing Assemblyman, the DAP man plans to continue pioneering sustainable
01:15 ways to improve the constituency.
01:17 We have started off with our Kompong, which was revolutionary. The demand response service
01:25 was quite unheard of before we launched it and now it's become quite known and widespread.
01:32 We have been the first constituency in Selangor to roll out a convenient recycling programme
01:38 where people can put their recycling in transparent bags and put them in the trash bin any day.
