‘Don’t play checkers in a chess game’: Selayang MP defends PKR's decision to use own logo in Johor polls

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 29 — Selayang MP William Leong has stood by PKR’s decision to contest in the Johor state elections using its own party logo, saying that doing the opposite would limit PKR’s abilities to deal with problems it learnt of after the recent Melaka polls.

“I appeal to all parties to remove the stumbling blocks and give PKR the opportunity to give its best shot in the Johor election,” he said. “Requiring PKR to use the PH logo in the post-GE14 and post-Sheraton Move political environment is moving your pieces like checkers in a chess game. Leong added that in a post-mortem after the Melaka state elections last November, the party received feedback that some voters thought PKR was not contesting there because they could not find its logo on the ballot sheets.“It must be realised that not every voter is well-informed, especially in rural areas where there is low social media coverage of political developments,” Leong said.

Johor polls: PKR's going solo on logo - a branding gambleAFTER a failed gamble in Melaka, PKR is taking another risky step by going solo in the Johor state election - but this time, the party believes it will pay off. Hopefully means MUDA and Warisan can join PH with a few alternate PM candidates. More likely 2 face a complete annihilation on its own, rather than pull d others down bcos ppl has all but lost on KEADILAN All coalition has failed. So go own your own is a better bet

Would have been better to contest under common Pakatan banner, Mat Sabu and Guan Eng say after PKR chooses own logo for Johor poll | Malay MailKUALA LUMPUR, Jan 27 — Both DAP and Amanah today said they respect PKR’s decision to contest in the Johor state election under its own logo, but would have preferred if the three parties would unite under the same Pakatan Harapan (PH) symbol to show their common purpose. DAP secretary-general... Susahlah kalau masuk ke padang tapi half the team pakai jersi warna lain. So apa guna ada Majlis Presiden PH kalau basics tiada kesepakatan? Why not PH guna aja PKR logo like it did masa GE14? Apparently logo PKR pelaris besar (big selling point). The_Mamu La masa bertanding guna logo Warisan masa PRN Sabah dan masa bertanding pakai logo prti masing2 masa PRN Sarawak tak sebut laguni pulak? Ohh situasi dan demografi berbeza ahhhh Anwar led party means same behaviour as UMNO, PAS and Bersatu plus new ex PKR gang party. Fight each other endlessly while sleeping together
