Perception of disunity can dent PH’s chances in Johor polls, says academic - superadmin - 02-02-2022 PETALING JAYA: An academic has warned Pakatan Harapan (PH) that its chances of winning the Johor elections are adversely affected by the public perception that it is disunited. James Chin of University of Tasmania said it was futile for PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim to play down talk of a disunited opposition following his party’s decision to use its own logo in the polls. Speaking to FMT, he said some voters would be questioning PH’s ability to form a government since it could not even agree on the use of a common logo. Anwar has been insisting that PKR’s decision has not affected ties among PH parties. He has also said that the strategy has been used before to no ill effect and accused unnamed parties of playing up the issue to divide the opposition. - More -
