Don’t dismiss PN’s hold on Malay vote, PH warned

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan (PH) would be deluded to think the wave of support Perikatan Nasional (PN) received in last November’s general election was only a fleeting trend, according to two analysts.

Azmil Tayeb of Universiti Sains Malaysia said an “overwhelming number” of Malay voters saw PN as a credible alternative to Umno and PH now that the two are working together.

Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya said the surge in support for PN in GE15 could not be seen as fleeting and the coalition would be seeking to ride on this wave even in the PH strongholds of Selangor and Penang.
