LET us start by first looking at the make-up of Tanjung Piai. The seat is, as most, made of majority Malay voters, comprising of 57%, Chinese at 42% and Indian voters record around 1% of the electorate.
Barisan Nasional has traditionally fielded an MCA candidate in Tanjung Piai, one which we have won in the last two of the three general elections.
There are mixed opinions regarding possible candidates to be fielded by Barisan. Talk of the town indicates that PAS won’t field anyone, but definitely will support whoever Barisan names.
Notably, Tanjung Piai’s electorate would gauge the level of understanding and cooperation within Barisan as well as within its newly found winnable union of Muafakat Nasional.
Hence, the leadership of Umno and PAS may want to use this upcoming by-election to showcase this winnable union is indeed a winning formula that can take us forward in GE15.
