THE most important detail to emerge from last weekend’s six state elections is that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, through the Pakatan Harapan (PH)-Barisan Nasional (BN) alliance, had lost more ground among Malay voters.
According to the former UMNO Youth chief, the recent state polls have ended in a stalemate, at least on the surface, with the PH chairman facing “twin dilemmas” which will “shape Malaysian politics for the next few years”.
“His first dilemma is ideological. Will he stay true to his progressive and reformist platform or will he continue to push back against Perikatan Nasional by introducing more conservative policies?” Khairy wrote in an article on Singaporean portal Fulcrum.
“His base has reacted to the election results by urging Anwar to stop pandering to the ‘Malay right’ and focus on growing the economy, introducing reforms and championing multiculturalism.
“But with such a strong rebuke from Malay voters yet again, Anwar could be tempted to play it both ways: continue with ethnocentric overtures and programmes, and at the same time, hope the economy improves for ordinary Malaysians.”

PETALING JAYA – The failure of Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) to make inroads in the Malay heartland of Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu is due to a “revolution” by voters, said Universiti Malaya political analyst Awang Azman Awang Pawi.
Awang said the issue of race and religion was just a small part of why the PH/BN coalition did badly in the state elections.
He said many underprivileged and low-income Malay voters felt they were being left out of the Madani economy plans, and added that they were sending a message to the unity government that they too want a piece of the economic pie and success.
“The unity government needs to take a closer look at the Madani economy plan and make it a bit more Malay-centric to attract these voters.
“Low-income Malays, like farmers and fishermen, continue to face hardships, and feel that Perikatan Nasional (PN) might be able to help them, but they are actually hoping for more help from the federal government,” he said.

Kit Siang: No need to panic for there are silver linings in the black clouds of the six state polls
![[Image: Perikatan-Nasional-The-Third-Force.jpg]](https://www.thethirdforce.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Perikatan-Nasional-The-Third-Force.jpg)
I AGREE with concerns that the Madani government may move to the right to appeal to the conservative Malay vote as expressed by PKR MP for Pasir Gudang Hassan Abdul Karim, DAP MP for Bukit Bendera Syerleena Abdul Rashid and Amanah secretary-general Datuk Mohd Hatta Ramli.
However, there is no need to panic as there are silver linings in the black clouds of the six state polls.
What the Madani government should do for the next four years is to spell out and implement the Madani vision beneficial to both Malays and non-Malays.
Make this a great national effort to make Malaysia rise up again to become a great world-class nation and forestall Malaysia from becoming a divided, failed and corrupt state like Sri Lanka when Malaysia celebrates its Centennial in 2057.
If DAP is anti-Malay, anti-Islam, anti-royalty, is the cause of the May 13 riots in Kuala Lumpur and is even a communist, DAP should not be getting a single Malay vote in the six state polls on Aug 12.
Yet DAP was able to obtain substantial Malay votes in Selangor, Negri Sembilan and Penang as illustrated by three victories in Selangor – Ng Suee Lin in Sekinchan, Lee Kee Hiong in Kuala Kubu Baharu and Lwi Kian Keong in Sungei Pelek.

PETALING JAYA: Rumours abound that Amirudin Shari will not be appointed as the menteri besar of Selangor for a second term after Pakatan Harapan failed to secure a two-thirds majority in the recent state polls.
A PKR leader, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said while Selangor PH chairman Amirudin, who retained his Sungai Tua seat, had performed well as menteri besar, he had failed to get the support of Malay voters.
The source said the name of Fahmi Ngah, who was elected as Seri Setia assemblyman on Saturday, was being bandied about to succeed Amirudin.
“Terengganu menteri besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar went missing when floods struck the state, but he was still backed by the electorate,” the source said, referring to Samsuri’s trip to New Zealand when floods struck the east coast in December. Samsuri later apologised for his absence.
