MP SPEAKS | Can Harapan's 'winning formula’ be applied to the rest of Malaysia?
Sandakan also provides some important lessons and implications for Harapan at the national level. To deliver Sandakan’s ‘winning formula’ to other parts of Malaysia is definitely more challenging, but not impossible.The expectation was that with a reduced turnout, DAP would have its majority of approximately 10,000 votes from GE14 cut significantly.
In the nine Chinese-majority polling districts , DAP increased its vote share by 5.3 percent, from 81.6 percent in GE14 to 86.8 percent in the by-election. Caution should be urged in blindly extending the Sandakan success to campaigns in other parts of Malaysia. The same cannot be expected in Peninsular Malaysia, since Umno and PAS still maintain their respective support base even though they are out of power at the federal level, and in all states except for Perlis, Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu.
