PETALING JAYA: Three major political coalitions – Pakatan Harapan, Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional – will ride into battle in six states carrying baggage of soured relationships.
Officially, some key figures involved say they are determined to"play decent" and not go on the election trail filled with vengeance.
In Selangor, incumbent chief minister Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari will take on his former mentor and predecessor Datuk Seri Azmin Ali, who is leading Perikatan's election machinery in the state. The Communications and Digital Minister said that the Pakatan-Barisan team has a strategy – both general and customised – to win Malay votes.
"As for the situation in Selangor, I am not certain if it can be called a battle of vengeance as we still do not know where Amirudin and Azmin will be contesting – or if there will be a Gombak-like showdown as seen in the last general election," said Fahmi, referring to GE15 when Amirudin soundly defeated Azmin in the Gombak parliamentary constituency.
Terengganu Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar said the main issue in east coast states was not about Muafakat's failure.
