PETALING JAYA: Victory for the Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional alliance in the state elections in Selangor, Penang and Negeri Sembilan alone may not be enough to dispel talk about instability surrounding the unity government, said an analyst.
Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid from Universiti Sains Malaysia said it was just as important to gauge the extent of Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) penetration into the three states before dismissing such talk.
“If PN gains support in the three states, this means that there’s a definite swing of votes away from Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional,” he told FMT.
He was commenting on a recent remark by Rajiv Rishyakaran, PH’s candidate for the Bukit Gasing state seat.
Rajiv said victory for PH-BN in the three states would show the unity government has the people’s support and end speculation about its collapse.

PETALING JAYA: Former Klang MP Charles Santiago has scoffed at PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang’s claim that non-Malays have no reason to fear the party ahead of the Aug 12 state elections.
Santiago said if PAS had not created fear among non-Malays, it would not need to come up with such statements in the first place.
“How do you explain compounding a Chinese woman for wearing shorts in public?” he said in a statement today, referring to an incident in June where a business owner was fined by the Kota Bharu Municipal Council for violating by-laws on “indecent clothing”.
He also said PAS enforced its ideas on “haram” onto non-Muslims, citing the lack of cinemas in Kelantan and gender-segregated ones in Terengganu.

FOR the Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional (PH-BN) coalition that forms the unity government at Federal level, it will only need to win another seven seats from the current 10 to wrest control of the 32-member Terengganu State Legislative Assembly in the Aug 12 state poll.
But this is easier said than done. On the ground, it appears that the green wave created by PAS in the East Coast state is still very strong. A random check with the people on the ground shows that PAS will win hands-down.
That is just the gut feeling that people get when speaking to the more outspoken ones. But there are undercurrents which may spring surprises for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s unity government
The dissatisfaction of the people will not be expressed out openly for fear of repercussions. FocusM spoke to some of them, and the signs appear good for the unity government to win Terengganu.

BUTTERWORTH – The Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition in Penang raised the bar of expectations last night when a senior leader “declared” that it has already won 26 of the 40 state seats despite campaigning for the state election just passing the fourth day.
State PKR vice-chairman Goh Choon Aik told a crowd that based on ground feedback, the coalition has secured 26 seats despite the best efforts of its rivals from Perikatan Nasional (PN), Muda, Parti Rakyat Malaysia and several independents.
If Goh’s prediction comes true, it means that PH has a simple majority out of the 40 seats.
Goh further expanded on his assertion, saying that ten seats remain in grey status while four are listed as black.
“We want the entire national and state machinery to focus on the grey and black constituencies. Turn them white by August 12,” said Goh.
