Parti besar guna taktik ‘permainan hantu’, kata Nik Nazmi

Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, a prominent figure in Malaysian politics, has criticized the main political party for relying on fear tactics to win support from voters. In an interview, Nik Nazmi asserted that the party uses a "ghost story" approach, warning of potential consequences if their political opponents gain power. He cited examples such as DAP potentially becoming the ruling party if voters support the Bersatu faction, or Umno potentially returning to power if the public chooses not to unite.

Nik Nazmi made these comments during a live broadcast on Pulau Pinang, where he claimed that the Bersatu party aims to avoid repeating the mistakes of past political parties and is carefully planning its strategy. The party is committed to change, he said, but acknowledges that it will take time, potentially five to seven years, to build sufficient support to challenge the current ruling party.

Historical data from the Pulau Pinang general elections suggests that voters are open to political change, drawing parallels to the 2008 elections when Pakatan Rakyat (PR) overtook the Barisan Nasional (BN) government. Nik Nazmi predicted that Malaysian voters would once again support the Bersatu party if they grow weary of the current political situation in the country.
