Mazlan Ali of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia said PKR can maintain the backing of its core supporters, which are made up of moderate Malays, urbanites and non-Malays, as long as it does not resort to racial rhetoric when courting the conservative Malays.“If PKR fights for Malay rights as stipulated in the Federal Constitution, it will not lead to them losing support from non-Malays because they can also advocate for non-Malay rights as outlined in the constitution,” he told FMT.
“So, to ensure PKR’s survival in the future, it also needs a significant number of Malay votes to enable it to dominate the semi-urban and rural areas,” he said.On Tuesday, Khairy, who is also a former Umno Youth chief, said PH, particularly its lynchpin PKR, will have to win over the right-wing Malays to stay in power.ADVERTISEMENT
Chin said PKR should focus on alleviating the Malay community’s concerns about their diminishing political influence by sharing that the non-Malay population is expected to decrease in the coming years.“By that time, all the right-wing parties could not say what they want against the Chinese and Indians because there is no way that 20% of the population or less could overtake the Malay community’s political dominance.
