An embarrassment, but ‘not the end’ for Muhyiddin Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 10:39 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional’s paltry performance in the Melaka state election, winning only 2 of 28 seats contested, is a huge embarrassment for coalition leader Muhyiddin Yassin, says political analyst Oh Ei Sun. Oh said the Melaka election was Muhyiddin’s “Waterloo moment”. However, it was still possible for him to recover from the worst of defeats. Muhyiddin will need to soldier on, as Barisan Nasional (BN) will be “back with a vengeance” now that they have scored a huge victory, he added. The coalition won 21 of 28 seats, Umno winning 18, MCA 2 and MIC 1. Political scientist Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid of Universiti Sains Malaysia said Muhyiddin could salvage his political career if he managed to sway some form of cooperation with BN in the new state government as the two coalitions are partners in the federal government. - More -   PKR whitewash a ‘big slap in the face for Anwar’ Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 10:36 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies AYER KEROH: The PKR wipeout at the Melaka state polls, losing all its 11 contests, is a big slap in the face for party president Anwar Ibrahim, says a political analyst. James Chin of the University of Tasmania’s Asia Institute attributed the party’s collapse to people losing faith in Anwar, being seen as the main person behind Pakatan Harapan “taking in the kataks (political frogs)”. He was referring to the decision by Anwar and Amanah president Mohamad Sabu to field two former Umno members, Idris Haron and Noor Azman Hassan. Chin described PKR”s loss of support as a very dangerous trend. “If the trend is repeated in the 15th general election which will be held next year, PKR will be wiped out,” he told FMT. He said it was quite clear that DAP was the only real performer for PH. The party won 4 seats of 8 contested, while Amanah won 1 of 9 contested. - More -   COMMENT | Sorry Anwar but it's time for you to step aside Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 09:43 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies COMMENT | So the dust settles on the Umno-led win in Malacca and the cheers of their supporters calling out the name of the convicted felon from Pekan ring in our ears. Malaysian politics is much more personality-based than it should be and I’ve often been pegged as an Anwarista because I think we need a popular Malay-led multi-racial party and he was the only one in our history who delivered that. I was part of the crowds that came out to support Anwar Ibrahim on three occasions each a decade apart – in Reformasi in 1998 when it was in solidarity with his arrest and beating, in 2008 when he was the star performer as the opposition swept five states and he briefly threatened to take Putrajaya. And most of all, in 2018, when my heart was full of joy as I was among the thousands who greeted him at Padang Timur when he was freed from prison. - More -   Melaka state election: A detailed account of where the votes went Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 09:37 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Winners and losers in the 15th Melaka state election: A detailed account of where the votes went KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 21 — Barisan Nasional (BN) candidates romped to victory in the Melaka polls yesterday, winning 21 seats from a total of 28. In total, 95,157 votes were cast for BN candidates with the largest margin of victory coming in the Lendu seat where the party’s chief minister candidate Datuk Seri Sulaiman Ali won with 4,486 votes compared to Bersatu’s Major Abdullah Mahadi with 1,382 votes, a difference of 3,104 votes. Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh trumped Perikatan Nasional (PN) Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin with a thin majority of 364 votes in the hot seat of Tanjung Bidara.

With 21 seats, BN can comfortably form the state government without entering into negotiations or forming a pact with another coalition, especially estranged allies in Perikatan Nasional (PN). Despite multi-cornered fights across all 28 state seats, BN managed to secure a huge mandate in many areas, especially rural Malay-majority ones, even trumping a former Umno chief minister-turned-political rival who was supposedly part of the group of lawmakers that triggered the state election in the first place. The polls also saw a strong voter turnout of over 60 per cent, contrary to the far lower predictions of less than 50 per cent by political observers who cited concerns over the Covid-19 pandemic as well as other priorities. - More -   After Melaka loss, Muhyiddin says PN will fight on Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 08:54 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies AYER KEROH: A defiant Muhyiddin Yassin says Perikatan Nasional (PN) will continue to be Barisan Nasional’s (BN) main challenger despite his coalition’s heavy defeat in the Melaka state election. At a press conference, Muhyiddin also rebuffed a call by Umno’s Lokman Adam who had asked him to dissolve Bersatu and rejoin Umno. “Thank you for the invite but we have charted our path based on our values and principles.” Muhyiddin said the coalition was ready to face the upcoming general election adding that it was not a problem. On whether the Melaka election would affect PN’s cooperation with BN, Muhyiddin said the cooperation at the federal level took place before the polls and that the priority was still to help the people and the country recover from the pandemic. - More -   PAS may just have to return to Umno’s side, says academic Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 08:49 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The Islamic party PAS may have no choice but to return to the Muafakat Nasional (MN) fold with Umno after its abysmal performance in the Melaka election tonight, an academic said. Azmi Hassan also said the party would have to rethink its affiliation with Perikatan Nasional, under whose ticket it contested in the state elections, as it lost in all its eight seats. “PAS has no choice since PN did badly,” he told FMT. PAS had decided to contest under the PN banner, which led to some predicting the demise of MN, a pact it forged with Umno in 2019. - More -   BN promises anti-hopping enactment post-Melaka: Zahid Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 08:45 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies MELAKA – Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has promised to introduce an anti-hopping enactment in Melaka after the coalition successfully reclaimed the state in the snap polls today.  In a press conference at the BN command centre this evening, the Umno president said the coalition would work on amendments to legislations to avoid party-hopping among elected assemblymen. “Our victory today sends a signal that Melaka voters are returning their support to BN. Thank you to all Melaka voters for giving this chance to BN. “With this victory, BN acknowledges the people’s desire for political stability and we will translate this stability not only in Melaka but also all over Malaysia,” said Zahid, who is also the Bagan Datuk lawmaker. - More -   COMMENT | Harapan defeat a referendum on Anwar's leadership Posted by: superadmin - 11-21-2021, 08:41 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies COMMENTS | Pakatan Harapan's defeat in Malacca, which includes a total wipeout for PKR, is a clear referendum on Anwar Ibrahim's leadership. The opposition chief has shown time and again that he is willing to make questionable decisions in order to gain the upper hand in his quest for a "strong, formidable majority". Worse yet, Anwar justifies actions such as taking in "frogs" by saying it is to return the people's mandate. If the PKR president will not listen to critics in his own party and coalition, then he must listen to the voters. - More -   Senior citizens out in full force to cast votes in Melaka polls Posted by: superadmin - 11-20-2021, 03:21 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR – All eyes have been on Melaka over the past two weeks, despite a tranquilised campaign atmosphere. Hard work by candidates and their supporters boiled down to the polls that opened at 8am today. At noon, voter turnout was 36%, according to the Election Commission. And it was not only candidates who stole the limelight at polling stations. The election saw senior citizens coming out in full force to cast their votes. Among them was 85-year-old Sedah Kassim, mother of Barisan Nasional’s (BN) Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh who is vying for the Tg Bidara seat. Sedah cast her vote at SK Jeram, reported The Vibes sister portal Getaran. In SK Durian Tunggal, Che Ta Md Som, 89, and her 90-year-old husband Fajar Hasan were also seen casting their ballots. The couple – who had been voting at elections even before independence – did not waste the opportunity to exercise their democratic right today, saying they do not fear Covid-19 as they are fully vaccinated. - More - Pages (1334): « Previous 1 … 986 987 988 989 990 … 1334 Next » Jump to page:
