Being disadvantaged is familiar territory: Pakatan hopeful of capturing Melaka

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – A ban on physical activities related to the Melaka election does not seem to bother Umno and Bersatu one bit, as top party leaders make their way down to the tourist-magnet coastal state a full week ahead of nomination.

Pakatan Harapan (PH), on the other hand, intends to continue playing it by the book, and appears unperturbed by the inroads made by its political rivals.

But will the “law-abiding” coalition find itself at the losing end come polling day on November 20?

This will not necessarily be the case, going by the assessment of PKR communications director Fahmi Fadzil, who said the component parties within PH are already accustomed to contesting at a handicap.

“Will it be unfair to PH? Yes. But in all our experience going into a competitive election, whether under Barisan Alternatif, Pakatan Rakyat, or now PH, we have always operated in spaces where we are at a disadvantage.
