PETALING JAYA: An analyst has warned of the imminence of the government’s ouster following an indication that PAS is planning to gather opposition forces against it.
James Chin of the University of Tasmania said the unity government’s lack of Malay support made it “highly likely” that it will fall before its term is up.
However, he also said this could change if Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Umno managed to “pull some Malay support” during the upcoming state polls.
Negeri Sembilan, Kelantan, Selangor, Kedah, Terengganu and Penang must hold state elections within the next four months.
Chin said Anwar’s Pakatan Harapan and Umno would have to win three of the six states and Anwar would have to expand his base in Kelantan and Terengganu for the government to achieve some stability.
