Dr Mahathir’s right-wing pact won’t get the Chinese vote, analysts say

Political observers do not see a reason why the Chinese community would give their vote to Gerakan Tanah Air, a far-right Malay pact formed by Dr Mahathir Mohamad that has nothing to offer to the ethnic group. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, November 13, 2022.
