The people will decide, not analysts, says Aminuddin


PORT DICKSON: Analysts can forecast multiple outcomes, but it will be the voters who decide who forms the next state government, says Negri Sembilan Pakatan Harapan chairman Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.

“Everyone is entitled to their opinion or findings. We will just wait and see when the results come out on Aug 1 and accept it.

“That is the rakyat’s will.

“Personally, I am also not brave enough to predict the people’s choices,” he said when met during a programme in Linggi here yesterday.

Aminuddin said the campaign atmosphere has been positive so far, but advised all sides to act responsibly.

He was commenting on political analyst and former Bangi MP Ong Kian Ming, who claimed that Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional are likely to win up to 25 out of the 36 seats in the Negri Sembilan state assembly.

He also projected that Pakatan would win between 11 and 13 seats.

Ong had reportedly said the Barisan and Perikatan electoral understanding would allow both coalitions to consolidate Malay support.

Pakatan is contesting all 36 seats, while Barisan is contesting 25.

Bersatu will be contesting 24 seats while Perikatan is contesting 11.

Berjasa, Parti Orang Asli Malaysia and PSM are fielding one candidate each, with four independent candidates also contesting at the state polls.

Polling day is this Saturday.
