“This higher sense of dissatisfaction among the Malays and other Bumiputeras provided the setting for politicians in Malay-based parties who sensed the timing was perfect to go for the jugular to hatch a plot for the demise of the Pakatan Harapan government, which became a reality in the aftermath of the political crisis brought about by Dr Mahathir’s resignation,” it said.
Emir Research is led by Datuk Rais Hussin, the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia supreme council member, who was recently appointed as Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation chairman after pledging support to party president Tan Sri Muhyddin Yassin. The poll also warned that support for PH may be affected in the future, if these demographics feel that they are treated better under PN.
