PETALING JAYA: Political analysts believe Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) is playing it safe by not getting involved in campaigning for the elections in six peninsula states.
Universiti Malaya (UM) socio-political analyst Awang Azman Pawi said GPS and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) may be “playing it safe” by not committing their coalitions to either side prior to the polls.
“I think they are being careful and taking into account the possibility that Perikatan Nasional (PN) could grow in strength after the state elections.
“Should the unity government fall, it would be easier for GPS to partner with PN,” he told FMT.
