PETALING JAYA: Unity based solely on Malay sentiment is no longer the single determining factor in garnering Malay political support, says political analyst Hisomuddin Bakar.
He said Malays also look at governance, including effective management of the economy, administrative integrity and policies that have a direct impact on people’s daily lives.
“It’s more about everyday realities than nationalist rhetoric. Political stability has become a priority,” said Hisomuddin, who is executive director of Ilham Centre. “Voters are feeling the fatigue created by internal party conflicts, party-hopping and frequent changes in government,” he told FMT.
