Institute of Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) CEO Wan Saiful Wan Jan shares some of his thoughts with The Star Online's T. AVINESHWARAN.
Avinesh: But these guys are liberals. Why don’t you think they have the advantage?
Wan Saiful: It’s because they belong to PAS. The elections in Malaysia have never been about the candidates. I know people will talk about ideals and choose the right candidates but this is all rubbish. The reality is people vote for a party. Even if you put a monkey as a candidate in the party, the hard-core supporters of that party will still vote for the monkey!
