Melaka aims to launch a Main Syariah Court in 2025 to strengthen its Islamic judicial system, involving reforms to court procedures and judicial appointments that require State Assembly approval.

Melaka's state government is planning to install a temporary water tank at Kem Terendak military base to address persistent water supply disruptions. The proposal awaits Defence Ministry approval while a major infrastructure upgrade is completed by April 2028.

Melaka's state government has unveiled a package of support measures for fishermen, extending PERKESO social security protection and distributing fish finders to boost productivity and welfare.

Melaka's DAP party has withdrawn from the state administration following a constitutional amendment row, forcing Pakatan to sit on the Opposition bench. Meanwhile, PM Anwar signals potential PTPTN abolishment discussions and reports Malaysia hosts 219,000 refugees.
