Macang MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal speaks to the Malay Mail during an interview at Bukit Tunku in Kuala Lumpur April 4, 2024. — Picture by Sayuti ZainudinKUALA LUMPUR, April 8 — Malay support for Perikatan Nasional has plateaued and the Opposition coalition must rehabilitate its image with the non-Malays in order to compensate, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s Youth wing chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Kamal said.

Wan Ahmad Fayhsal said the onus was now on him and others in Perikatan Nasional to engage with non-Malays and win them over to the coalition’s point of view in national matters. — Picture by Sayuti Zainudin “If they were to think that we are still evil, we are still the far-right, conservative, intolerant groups of Muslim-Malay leaders, I can’t force them to accept us.”

Wan Ahmad Fayhsal put down the mistrust to both an unfamiliarity with his coalition and its objectives, along with what he alleged to be media bias. “Our performance has been, to me, subpar. I’m not too happy, collectively speaking, with my teammates. I think we have not performed to the best of our ability, in terms of our research, in terms of our arguments, in terms of policy and proposals.
