Parti Semenanjung diingat jangan ‘batu api’ kehadiran Fadillah di Melaka

The Parti Semenanjung has cautioned against politicizing Fadillah Yusof's presence in Melaka during the PRN campaign as a means to garner political advantage, as warned by Felo Akademi Sains Malaysia's Jayum Jawan. The analysis suggests that such action risks inciting anger among Sarawak voters. Jayum points out that the GPS (Gabungan Parti Sarawak) has no close ties with Barisan Nasional (BN), Pakatan Harapan (PH), or Perikatan Nasional (PN), and even left BN after losing the 2018 general election.

The GPS's actions following the 2018 election demonstrate their loyalty to Sarawak's interests, but analysts from the University of Tasmania, James Chin, argue that Fadillah's presence there is justified due to his official ministerial capacity. Chin maintains that no one should take this issue seriously, as Fadillah was attending a ministerial event and did not participate in any campaigning activities.

Chin also notes that the GPS has a clear policy against interfering in Semenanjung affairs, as demonstrated in the PRN campaigns of Johor and Negeri Sembilan. He believes that the GPS representative from PBB will exercise caution and avoid violating this policy. Previously, Fadillah's visit to Melaka sparked controversy, but further clarification confirmed that his presence was to oversee the Gas Turbine Generation Expert Seminar (CGNEI) in Alor Gajah.

The event was attended by Melaka's Chief Minister, Ab Rauf Yusoh, at the official capacity of state administration and at the invitation of the organizers, with no connection to elections.
