Quote:IT student Faridzuan Rahman, 24, was also concerned following the election results, as it reflected the nation’s lack of unity.
He stated that religious sentiments have been instilled in the youth, steering them away from solution-based parties.
“Even among the young generation, a clear conservative mindset has been planted within their upbringing.
KUALA LUMPUR – Following the election results on Saturday young voters were left even more confused and concerned that their futures will end up becoming even more uncertain.
The Vibes spoke to individuals who cast their votes for the first time last weekend, and were not shy to communicate their thoughts following it.
One such voter, Yunice Leong, expressed her concern on the current absence of a government.
“I am nervous about what will happen, because there’s no simple majority,” the 19-year-old told The Vibes.
“Since now all parties are negotiating with each other, I’m afraid the possibility of a backdoor government might happen again,” she added.

KUALA LUMPUR – The legitimacy of a government formed by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin would again be put into question if he proceeds with securing a simple majority through statutory declarations (SD), political observers and civil society groups said.
The groups and observers suggested the method of collecting individual signatures could see Perikatan Nasional (PN) being accused of leading another “backdoor government” – as the coalition was not the one that won the most seats in the recent general election.
Singapore Institute of International Affairs senior fellow Oh Ei Sun noted that Muhyiddin could be taking advantage of specific gaps in the anti-party hopping law, otherwise known as The Constitution (Amendment) (No. 3) Act 2022, to lure Umno reps into supporting PN.

PETALING JAYA: Some netizens have taken to social media to warn MCA, a member of Barisan Nasional, against a BN alliance with Perikatan Nasional to form a new government following the inconclusive general election.
A Facebook user said MCA should carefully consider the matter, for fear that the Islamic party PAS, a member of PN, would impose restrictive rules on non-Muslims.
“Do you prefer PAS or DAP? Think first, sir. It’s better for MCA to swallow their pride and support Pakatan Harapan. What’s next, a ban on Genting Highlands, no beer?” the Facebook user posted.

KUALA LUMPUR – There is no requirement for Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun to seek statutory declarations (SDs) from every single MP from coalitions for the formation of a new government.
A source, who spoke to The Vibes on condition of anonymity, said the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had explicitly mentioned that His Majesty only requires the affirmation from party leaders on their preferred alliances as well as choice of prime minister.
The source, a constitutional expert, said as such, there is no need for lawmakers to sign individual documents stating their support.
“The correct procedure is that only a letter from BN chairman (Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi) saying it supports Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as prime minister to lead the government is enough.

YOU don’t have to know rocket science to understand how DAP worked to get a landslide victory in the 15th General Election (GE15). It is without doubt that the majority of Chinese voted for DAP over MCA.
But there’s more to check out. If one is observant, one would have noticed that DAP this time around didn’t put Lim Guan Eng in the frontline battle at the party’s ceramahs.
The reason is obvious – if DAP were to do so, this could pose a setback as many Chinese are not happy with the way Guan Eng had dealt with education issues surrounding UTAR (Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman) and TAR UC (Tunku Abdul Rahman University College).

MIRI – Parti Aspirasi Sarawak and concerned Sarawakians are urging Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) to make an immediate U-turn on its decision to form a coalition government with PAS and Bersatu.
Aspirasi president Lina Soo, in a statement, demanded that GPS chairman Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg change the coalition’s stance and side with Pakatan Harapan (PH) instead.
This comes amid talk that GPS and Abang Johari may have been misled into making a hasty decision in supporting Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin for prime minister.
Soo said Sarawakians are very worried about the decision taken by GPS and Abang Johari.
“Sarawakians abhor the thought of Sarawak parties linking up to form a federal government with Malaya parties known to have bias against race and religion in their policies and public propaganda.
“The wrong decision by GPS in this pivotal period will pull Sarawak into a tailspin of unending racial and religious controversies.

PETALING JAYA: Umno risks its future if it decides to back Perikatan Nasional (PN) instead of Pakatan Harapan (PH), says an analyst.
University of Tasmania’s James Chin said this was because Bersatu is eager to oust Umno as the main Malay party in the country, adding that the Muhyiddin Yassin-led party was resentful of the latter.
He added that this resentment extends to the leadership of Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and former prime minister Najib Razak.
“If they join PN to form the government, they will be totally overshadowed, and might even be swallowed up by Bersatu,” he told FMT.
Chin went on to say that if Umno backs PH, it could regain some legitimacy in the long run.
It would also be seen as “respecting” the wishes of the majority of voters as PH won popular support. The coalition also won the most seats, 82, in the general election.
“Joining PH is what people want, as they have the largest number of seats.”

KOTA KINABALU – Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) has violated its promise to Barisan Nasional (BN) by moving to support Perikatan Nasional (PN), Sabah BN chairman Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin has claimed.
Bung said to Astro Awani today that Sabah BN will discuss its partnership in the state, which it is jointly ruling with GRS, after the federal government is formed.
Sabah is currently under the GRS-BN government. Under the present arrangement, Hajiji is the chief minister of Sabah while Bung is a deputy chief minister.
Bung was present today in Kuala Lumpur in the meeting between leaders of BN and Pakatan Harapan over a possible collaboration in forming the next government of Malaysia.

KUALA LUMPUR – Pakatan Harapan (PH) has rubbished Perikatan Nasional (PN) secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin’s claims that his coalition had support from more than 112 elected parliamentarians to form the government.
PH secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said this was because Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had nullified purported declarations or negotiations involving Umno MPs and PN.
Saifuddin said therefore Hamzah’s claims were invalid and cannot be used as evidence of support for any prime ministerial candidate.
He added that Zahid’s assertions meant that PN could lose several seats it claims to hold.

KUALA LUMPUR – It appears that not all Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) members are happy with the alliance with Perikatan Nasional (PN) to form the federal government.
Highly placed sources told The Vibes that chief among the concerns was the inclusion of PAS and the anti-Christian narratives played up in the final hours of the election campaign.
“We were not consulted on this and it appears that Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg is making arbitrary decisions,” said one source.
Party members hope GPS chairman Abang Johari does not help push extreme Malaya parties into power in Putrajaya.
“We are having difficulty explaining to our members why we are tying up with PAS and Bersatu.
“Their politics are inconsistent with the values of the people in Sarawak,” said another.
