KUALA LUMPUR: The success of Pakatan Harapan (PH) in retaining the Pulai parliamentary and Simpang Jeram state seats on Saturday (Sept 9) is proof that the cooperation between PH and Barisan Nasional (BN) is accepted by the people, according to PH-BN leaders.

In congratulating Amanah’s Suhaizan Kayat and Nazri Abdul Rahman for their victories in Pulai and Simpang Jeram, respectively, the two coalitions’ leaders said the by-election results showed that people chose the politics of service advocated by the unity government over Perikatan Nasional’s politics of perception.

Suhaizan and Nazri triumphed in three-cornered fights against PN and Independent candidates, winning with a majority of 18,641 votes and 3,514 votes, respectively.PKR information chief Fahmi Fadzil said the PH-BN victories were a clear signal that the people, especially those in Johor, rejected the politics of stirring up 3R issues.

He advised PN to be a good Opposition, including by holding talks with Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof on various matters for their common good as suggested by the Prime Minister earlier.In Putrajaya, DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook said the success of PH-BN in Pulai and Simpang Jeram would motivate the alliance to make further gains by retaining the Pelangai state seat in Pahang in a by-election set for Oct 7.

He said the support of various races and youths for Suhaizan and Nazri showed that the politics of perception employed by the opposition was no longer acceptable to voters and should be stopped as it did not benefit the people."Our success in the by-elections shows that the rakyat prefer the politics of service practised by parties in the Unity Government instead of the politics of perception propagated by the opposition,” he said.
