‘Blue tsunami’ could sweep Malaysia in GE16, says Wan Fayhsal

The Wawasan information chief says declining trust in the PH government has pushed voters towards the BN-PN alliance.

‘Blue tsunami’ could sweep Malaysia in GE16, says Wan Fayhsal

Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal, the information chief for Wawasan, predicts a potential "blue tsunami" sweeping Malaysia in the 16th general election, as seen in Negeri Sembilan. He attributes this to the growing trust deficit in Pakatan Harapan and the support for the broader BN-PN alliance. The BN-PN coalition secured 25 seats in the 36-member state assembly, with BN winning 18 seats and PN seven.

Wawasan, contesting under the PN banner, won three of its four contested seats, and its membership is expected to continue growing as a multiracial party. Wan Fayhsal speculates that replicating this model in other states could be facilitated through negotiations over seat allocations, but that the process may be smooth sailing for all parties involved in the other states.
