Policy changes alone won’t guarantee return of support, PH told
Analyst Lau Zhe Wei says policy changes may have had a greater political impact if done on a large scale before the Johor and Negeri Sembilan polls.
Analysts suggest that merely implementing policy changes will not be enough to recoup support for Pakatan Harapan (PH) in the face of identity politics, as racial sentiments dominate the political environment. While administrative improvements might have had a greater impact on voter support if implemented earlier, the gap in impact between using ethnic issues and making administrative improvements to win votes is now too large.
PH's defeat in the Negeri Sembilan polls, along with consecutive losses in Johor and Sabah, highlights the challenges they face in addressing voter concerns and maintaining a strong position in the political landscape.
