PETALING JAYA: Despite having won only eight seats in the 15th general election (GE15), analysts believe Amanah still has a bright future in the country’s political landscape.
Faizal Musa of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) said that some external factors had hindered Amanah’s progress.
“It could be the narrative or myth that DAP is behind Amanah and all other such slander hurled at the party,” he told FMT.
He said that this was exacerbated by the support of conservative Muslims in the north and east coast states to PAS.
Faizal, who is a renowned author and writes under the pen name Faisal Tehrani, is a researcher at UKM’s Institute of the Malay World and Civilisation.
