PETALING JAYA: PKR’s recent mauling in the Melaka and Sarawak state elections could be the reason for the party deciding to use its symbol instead of the Pakatan Harapan logo in the upcoming Johor polls, but it’s a strategy that analysts say may go wrong.

Azmi Hassan, a senior fellow at the Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research, said it was odd that the lead party in the coalition opted to use its own symbol while the other two use the coalition logo.

“If PKR says that it can attract more people especially the Malay voters by doing this, I don’t think the strategy is going to work. The party has actually put itself in a disadvantageous position by doing this.

“The leaders must understand that it was more than the logo that led to poor performance by PH parties in the Melaka and Sarawak state elections,” he told FMT.
