COMMENTARY, March 5 ― Just one week back, a total of 239 candidates from various political parties were accepted by the Election Commission to contest a total of 56 state seats in the Johor state election.
The only war now is between the three main Malay-based parties which are out to bury each other so that only one is recognised as the champion for Malays. All these parties are still fighting to find issues that resonate with voters as people in Johor seem to be more interested in state affairs rather than national-level issues which to them do not benefit the masses in any way.
Even the DAP is in a dilemma as to what issues to play up to sustain support for the party, what more to attract new young voters because its tirade against Najib Razak's visit to Foon Yew school has not received the response hoped for by the party.
