PETALING JAYA: Statements by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang about non-Malays being the “biggest plunderers” have put Gerakan, its partner in Perikatan Nasional, in an uncomfortable situation ahead of the coming state elections, says a political analyst.

Universiti Sains Malaysia lecturer Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid said Gerakan cannot expect to win over non-Malay support following Hadi’s recent comments.

Hadi had said Malays were being “openly conned” by minority groups.
