KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 6 — The overcrowded 12th Sarawak election will be a fight down the middle with the ruling Gabungan Parti Sarawak on one side versus DAP and Parti Sarawak Bersatu on the other, said political analysts.
Long-time Sarawak political observers, Dr Jeniri Amir and Prof Dr Lee Kuok Tiung, both Sarawakians, were neither surprised by the numbers. The four GPS component parties — Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu , Parti Rakyat Sarawak , Sarawak United Peoples’ Party and Progressive Democratic Party — were instrumental in capturing 72 seats in the 2016 polls in which DAP won seven from 31 contested.
Lee agrees that Baru will be a big advantage for PSB because he has many hard-core supporters who still support him.
