Pushing for Najib’s release will weaken PH, say leaders

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Any continuing push for Najib Razak’s release from prison will likely weaken support for Pakatan Harapan, a DAP leader said.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the leader said any attempt by PH to secure a pardon for the jailed former prime minister will backfire on the coalition and weaken the support of the non-Malays.

“The middle-class Malays who supported PH will also retreat if we actually attempt to secure a pardon for him,” said the leader.

He added that those who continue to support PH in future elections may end up doing so for the wrong reasons.

“People will vote for you not because they have hope in you, but because they just don’t want PAS.
