ADUN SPEAKS | Recent by-elections don’t show major shifts in voting patterns, but reform agenda is under threat from identity politics.
| From the Pakatan Harapan perspective, the recent two by-elections one in Cameron Highlands and Semenyih are nothing extraordinary.
It is not that Harapan lost Malay support, but that its votes were reduced due to the devious game played by PAS.and the ostentatious living styles of some PAS leaders it is quite obvious that accusations against them never did sink into the minds of voters. In Semenyih, Najib pulled larger crowds during his campaign compared to Harapan leaders. Why was this so?
The poor performance of Harapan leaders in carrying out reforms and implementing the Harapan manifesto were reasons cited for the dissatisfaction among the non-Malays.Rising cost of living, lack of opportunities for non-Malays and the arrogance of some Harapan leaders in addressing the legitimate grievances of this segment was a disappointment to them.
The danger for Harapan is not from outside but from within, especially from leaders who are merely paying lip-service to the needs of a multi-racial and multi-religious Malaysia.
