State polls more than a referendum on Anwar, says analyst FMTNews FMTEng
Voters in six states may use the Aug 12 polls to express their acceptance of the makeup and policies of the federal unity government led by PH’s Anwar Ibrahim and BN’s Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, an analyst said.
But the unity coalition has also faced some tough questions over issues ranging from Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s appointment as the deputy prime minister despite his court cases, political appointments in government agencies and the slow pace of reforms. “So, in a way, the polls will also be a referendum on BN and its top leadership over decision to work with PH,” he said, adding this could lead to questions about whether BN should remain in the coalition.
Meanwhile, James Chin from the University of Tasmania also said the polls will be an indirect referendum on Anwar.
