KUALA LUMPUR – Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) unexpected victories in dozens of parliamentary seats may have turned some heads, but observers say it comes with little surprise as the coalition has been consistent in its Malay-centric and anti-corruption messaging.
Universiti Sains Malaysia’s (USM) Azmil Tayeb said throughout its 15th general election (GE15) campaign, PN had constantly promoted itself as the “cleanest” coalition as none of its candidates were facing corruption charges in court.
Azmil noted that PN’s campaign motto of “Prihatin, Bersih, dan Stabil” (“Attentive, Clean, and Stable”) government had proven to be effective among constituents who voted for the coalition.
“During their ceramah, PN will focus on being ‘bersih’ by saying BN is corrupt and that a vote for BN is a vote for (its president Datuk Seri Ahmad) Zahid Hamidi as prime minister,” Azmil – who was on the coalition’s campaign trail – told The Vibes when contacted earlier this morning.
