GEORGE TOWN, July 6 — Following confirmation that PAS had retained its Sungai Bakap seat with a larger majority, in an immediate response, Penang PH chairman Chow Kon Yeow said the loss reflected the people’s voice on the current political situation in Sungai Bakap , Penang and Malaysia.
He said although there was good cooperation between the component parties under the PH-BN unity pact, the results were indicative of their failure to gain the understanding of voters regarding recent national, state and local issues.He said the results went beyond the choice of candidate, so it was not the candidate’s fault.
When asked about the voters’ turnout, Chow said the number of ethnic Chinese and Indian voters who came out to vote dropped by about 13 per cent this time compared to the state elections last year. Moving forward, the Penang chief minister said they will need to conduct a post-mortem on the results and scrutinise the reasons for the loss.
