The high stakes in my state


SO there are non-Malay voters who are disappointed with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his Pakatan Harapan-led unity government, and they intend to abstain from voting in Saturday’s state election.

One very vocal “educated urban Chinese housewife” in Selangor has declared that she and her friends won’t be voting because they feel that they were played out by Pakatan twice – in 2018 and 2023 – and are willing to “give the states to the Opposition and its so-called ‘green tsunami’”.
