KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 24 — Despite all the chatter among political observers about the future of Perikatan Nasional (PN), it is likely the coalition will survive to fight another day even if they have a poor outcome in the upcoming Johor state election.
Political analysts like Universiti Teknologi Malaysia geostrategist Professor Azmi Hassan think PN which is primarily Bersatu and PAS will still be able to contest in the 15th general election (GE15) regardless of how they do in Johor.
“Look at Melaka, it was a very poor performance for Perikatan Nasional (PN), but they are still surviving... they are still around.
“So Johor will be no different as a state election is totally different from a general election,” Azmi told Malay Mail.
