Contest against PH at state polls, analyst tells MCA, MIC

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Barisan Nasional members MCA and MIC should take on Pakatan Harapan in “friendly contests” at the coming state elections, according to political analyst Wong Chin Huat.

He said the two parties should not remain trapped in any electoral pact between BN and PH, which would make it unlikely that they would be allowed to field candidates in their traditionally-held seats.

“The conventional rule of coalition politics in Malaysia is that the incumbent parties defend their seats. This means that in the PH-run states, MCA and MIC will not be given any seats to contest,” he told FMT.
