Malay voters’ suspicions about DAP undid Anwar’s efforts, says analyst

PETALING JAYA: Suspicions held by Malay voters towards DAP neutralised Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s efforts to show his government was still championing the Malay-Muslim cause, an analyst said.

Mazlan Ali of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia said the stern action taken against those purportedly pushing the LGBTQ agenda, including the seizure of Swatch’s Pride collection watches, failed to convince the Malay electorate.

“The majority of the Malays are still suspicious of DAP, even though lately, the party seems to be more moderate in handling political issues,” he told FMT.
