YOURSAY | ‘Voters from the two east Malaysian states are still the kingmakers.’
If it’s all about race and religion, then race-based political parties like Umno, Bersatu, MCA, MIC, PAS and Amanah would have won big at last year’s general election.We can see that the trend on the ground is very different from the perception created by politicians in the media.
Those prone on fanning divisive and racial propaganda will ultimately learn that Malaysians are living in a multiracial country and the needs of everyone should be taken care of fairly.Even before their signing of a formal political pact this weekend, the PAS-Umno combination has already won three by-elections since last year.
If Harapan stays honest, has moderate and inclusive policies, and prioritises socio-economic issues especially in Sabah and Sarawak, it will win again in the next general election. In fact, all the other Harapan leaders would have started to get worried over the two largest opposition parties’ intended pact.
Voters from the two east Malaysian states are still the kingmakers, and I hope they know how to capitalise on their position and role in the run-up to GE15.Any party or coalition which has intentions of ruling the country needs to have a plan on how to drive the economy and generate wealth.
