[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Of 44 Pakatan Harapan candidates who lost their deposits in the general election last month, 27 were in the Malay belt states of Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah.

It should ring alarm bells in the multiracial coalition, according to a political analyst.

Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara said it is a worrying trend when the lead coalition of the unity government was crushed in these states where all PH candidates lost except in Sungai Petani, Kedah.
