KUALA LUMPUR, March 28 — Pakatan Harapan’s stance as a coalition representing all Malaysians would be further threatened if it abandons any ambition to win control of Kelantan and Terengganu, according to political analysts polled by Malay Mail.
Syaza Shukri, assistant professor of political science at International Islamic University Malaysia, said that this lack of aim to form the state governments there would leave legitimate questions about PH’s sincerity to improve governance in the two states."Though I think that’s not true. Support for PH is there. But they’re sending a signal that the basis of their legitimacy is not dependent on Kelantan and Terengganu, which is sad.
Despite urging the grassroots to double up efforts to retake Kedah, Saifuddin suggested that the coalition instead plan to be a"strong Opposition” in the two East Coast states. The Kedah state government has traditionally been held by BN, but was led by Pakatan Harapan former component Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia after the 2018 general election.
"I would understand this for Kelantan, but Terengganu is a state that BN had been controlling until 2018, albeit with a slim majority in the state assembly. "I think strategically it is wise for PH to leave the states alone for BN-Umno to do the fight, because Umno is basically more well respected and believed in Kelantan and Terengganu.
