KOTA KINABALU: Two political analysts have voiced doubt that Warisan will make any impact in Peninsular Malaysia if it goes ahead with its plan to spread its wings across the pond.
Lee Kuok Tiung of Universiti Malaysia Sabah and Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya said the challenges of vying with established parties on the peninsula and gaining acceptability by West Malaysians would be formidable.
At a Zoom session in conjunction with his birthday last Tuesday, Warisan president Shafie Apdal told the media the party would pursue its plan to launch itself onto the national platform and that it would adopt a multiracial approach in its policies and also uphold Muslim values. He said he expected support from many young voters because of their courage in seeing change.
Lee told FMT he believed Warisan had little hope of mounting any significant challenge against parties in Barisan Nasional, Perikatan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan.
