State election a litmus test, say analysts


PETALING JAYA: The outcome of the Melaka state election on Nov 20 will determine whether or not Perikatan Nasional can take on the 15th General Election without cooperating with Barisan Nasional, says Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) political analyst Dr Azmi Hassan.

Bersatu’s (Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, the leading party in Perikatan) performance will set a precedent for future seat negotiations between Perikatan and Barisan, he said.
