00:01Barisan national candidate Datuk Tinalanti Rajagopalu is campaigning in Srembanjaya
00:07with a personal 10-point manifesto and a community welfare fund.
00:11The MIC leader, known locally as Chegutina, said voters wanted change
00:17after 18 years under the same representative, citing unresolved long-standing issues
00:23such as poor basic facilities and public services.
00:26For these residents, they don't have a police station.
00:30They only have a Pondok Police.
00:32So there is no banks.
00:35You must have a police station to have a bank here.
00:38But they have ATM machines.
00:40So this is one of their main concern and they don't have football field
00:42for young kids to play football and all that and the most important thing is
00:48the Bantuan Kebajikan, the JKM, Sog Sog, and the normal infrastructure
00:55is not in place.
00:57Tinalan said he would address residents' grievances immediately if elected
01:01and hold relevant agencies accountable for unresolved complaints.
01:06He said he would channel his allowance into a community fund for residents facing emergencies
01:11and his campaign is backed by his own manifesto alongside the Barisan national and state manifestos.
01:18Because sometimes when they go to YB's office, when they mourn Bantuan like laptop for the students,
01:23they have to wait for a month.
01:24So here, because the fund is there, so we can immediately use the fund to buy for them a laptop
01:28for the needy students.
01:29If they want bus transport for school, this and that, Bantuan Kebajikan or whatever they need.
01:35Funeral expenses, you know, sometimes some family, when they lose a family member,
01:39they don't even have money to do funeral.
01:42So for that, I can just channel it down.
01:45Tinalan, who faces Pakatan Harapan's S. Muguntan and Bersatu's Mahendran Ramasamy
01:51in Saturday's Negeri Sembilan election, said he is using a door-to-door campaign from 7am until 1am,
01:59believing voters wanted to meet candidates in person rather than see posters and banners.
02:04He said public response had been more positive than during his 2018 campaign,
02:09with many expressing a desire for change.
