PETALING JAYA: PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang’s claim that the Malay voter turnout rate was lower than that of other races in the recent general election (GE15) is baseless, says a political analyst.
Bridget Welsh of the University of Nottingham Malaysia said data she collected showed Malays made up the highest percentage of voters compared with other races.
“The lower voter turnout rate of the Chinese and other non-Malay ethnic groups refutes Hadi’s claim,” she told FMT.
