SUNGAI PETANI, July 30 — What is so special about Kedah that both the Pakatan Harapan -Barisan Nasional unity alliance and their rival Perikatan Nasional are going out of their way to capture the state in the August 12 polls?
He said the fact that the Kedah administration had changed hands in several general elections in the past had emboldened contesting parties to give more emphasis on the state this time around. According to him, the polls would also show whether the support received by PN in the last general election would have a lasting effect or would switch to the Unity Government parties.
“It is crucial for them to determine their Menteri Besar candidate. Secondly, the issues being played up now tend to border on sentiments of emotion rather than direction or the future. “Today Kedah is under PAS. Furthermore, the Menteri Besar is seen to be vocal, clashing a lot with the federal government. So, it is important for BN-PH to capture this state to show that they are on the right side,” said Mazlan, who is from Perdana Centre of Razak Faculty, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.
