PETALING JAYA: A political analyst has dismissed the claim by Perikatan Nasional chairman Muhyiddin Yassin that the coalition’s massive win in Padang Serai and slim loss in Tioman are indicative of the voters’ distrust in the unity government.

Azmil Tayeb of Universiti Sains Malaysia said it was hard to say if the two election results were a rebuke against the government as it had just been formed.

“I think the results are just a continuation of the voting trend we saw in this (general) election where most of the Malay majority areas went to PN,” he told FMT.

PN won 73 seats in GE15.
