: The involvement of Johor Menteri Besar and two former MBs in the Barisan Nasional machinery is seen as having a significant influence in ensuring the victory of Pakatan Harapan candidates in the upcoming by-elections for the Pulai parliamentary constituency and the Simpang Jeram state seat.
According to the sociocultural lecturer with Universiti Malaya Academy of Malay Studies Associate Professor Dr Awang Azman Awang Pawi, Mohamed Khaled, as Johor BN chairman, and Johor MB Onn Hafiz have unique strengths as leaders. The research fellow at UM’s Centre for Democracy and Elections said even though PN has Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal, who is a former MB, on their side, he is not seen to have a significant influence on the voters, especially when he was replaced by Hasni less than a year from being appointed.
“However, in facing the Pulai and Simpang Jeram by-elections, I think the leadership of Onn Hafiz, Hasni and Mohamed Khaled will bring advantages to the Unity Government to curb the green wave from taking root in Johor in these by-elections,,” he said. “All these leaders have their strengths. It’s how each of them plays their role in rallying their machinery and wooing voters. They must set aside their egos and forget past experiences when they were on different sides,” he said.
