Sng believes BN-PN pact can win simple majority in GE16

Free Malaysia Today reports that Parti Bangsa Malaysia president Larry Sng believes the Barisan Nasional-Perikatan Nasional alliance could attain a simple majority in the upcoming general election (GE16) if their current pact remains in place. According to Sng, this would mean that ruling state coalitions Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) would no longer hold significant influence, particularly in the event of a hung Parliament.

The current combined seat tally for BN and PN in the 2022 general election is 98, with only 14 additional parliamentary seats needed to form the government, which requires 112 seats.
