Analysts: Ahead of GE15, Opposition needs to counter disenchantment with Pakatan as low voter turnout benefits Umno, PAS

KUALA LUMPUR, March 3 — Cheah CY, a 62-year-old retiree, has been a staunch supporter of Opposition party DAP for the past four decades and has never hesitated to vote for the party in past elections.

Since the fall of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government two years ago though, things have changed.

“Why should I go out and vote? When it turns out those in power are not the ones I voted for?” he told Malay Mail recently.

“It’s also quite disappointing to see that after GE14, DAP and PKR aren’t much to shout about,” he added, referring to the 14th general election which took place in 2018.)
