Experts: Perikatan still dominates social media


PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional has shown that it still has the upper hand in the war for hearts and minds on social media as shown by the recently concluded Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election, says an electoral watchdog and political analysts.

The Opposition coalition continues to displace ruling coalition Pakatan Harapan, which used to be the dominant player in crafting political narratives online among people aged between 18 and 40 in past elections, they said.
