A crucial election for good governance and multi-ethnicity – Terence Fernandez

ONE peddles hope, the other stability, and another champions one race.

Essentially, these are the choices of Malaysians going to the polls tomorrow.

At the end of the day, it is expected that these three coalitions: Pakatan Harapan (PH), Barisan Nasional (BN), and Perikatan Nasional (PN) will dominate the 22 million ballots that are expected to be cast nationwide.

Sabah and Sarawak will be looking at these three options to decide who they shall align with at the federal level to gain influence and affluence for their respective territories, and the long awaited equal treatment.

The last four-and-a-half years have been eventful, if not tumultuous, with PH being given the mandate to govern in 2018, only for all of that to come crashing down 22 months later through in-fighting and political guile.

In the pandemic that followed soon after, Malaysians were at the mercy of an autocratic administration in PN, which suspended Parliament via an emergency.
