Warming ties between Barisan and Pakatan an advantage in Selangor

Talk of the town: Aerial view of Selangor. There are 56 seats in the Selangor assembly, of which 31 are Malay-majority.

PETALING JAYA: Barisan Nasional voters are slowly warming up to Pakatan Harapan in Selangor, which will give the component parties under the unity government an advantage in retaining the state in the upcoming polls.

This trend is crucial given that previous studies, the most recent of which was conducted by the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore, had claimed that those who had supported Barisan in the 15th General Election (GE15) would not vote for Pakatan in Selangor.
