Polls results a ‘wake-up call’ for reforms, says PKR MP
PETALING JAYA: PKR MP Wong Chen has told the government the results of yesterday’s state elections are “a wake-up call” for it to reform.
While Pakatan Harapan retained power in Penang, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, where it will form the new state governments with Barisan Nasional, Perikatan Nasional made strong inroads in all three states, as well as achieve landslide victories in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu.
“While the overall result is 3-3, these state elections have been a bruising fight for PH-BN,” the Subang MP said on Twitter (X).

“As such, going forward, the prime minister needs to organise the coalition parties on what fundamental reforms are agreeable by all, and then vigorously set an agenda to deliver them.”
He said this includes passing the Parliamentary Services Act and the Political Financing Act as soon as possible.
