Iman Research: PAS' 'green wave' long time coming, came from lack of Pakatan presence and winning over first-time voters

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 20 — The so-called

"green wave" used to describe PAS' gains in the 15th general election was not a drastic phenomenon and was a result of steady momentum over the years, Iman Research said in its research.

"In fact, going back to GE14, we could already see the gains by PAS in the East Coast-Northern belt of Peninsular Malaysia. This so-called ‘green wave’ started back then, and with the lack of presence of PH in this region, and the lack of key PH figures where most of them are based in the West Coast and urban areas, PAS and by extension PN emerged as a viable alternative to BN."

"Each party is projecting themselves as being morally more superior than the other, while accusing their rivals as being morally-corrupt. And as we got into the second week of campaigning, there have been less talks about the party manifestos in the 'ceramah', but issues on morality have taken centre stage,” it said.
