Tg Piai by-election loss more than slap in face for PH

Various reasons have been put forward for this heaviest of defeats since that fast-fading triumph of May 2018. The unfulfilled promise of bringing down the cost of living. Many other bread-and-butter issues. Abolition of toll roads. Abolition also of oppressive laws and detention without trial violated by action to the contrary.

On the other hand, the Malay and religion under threat narrative was well captured by the Umno-Pas alliance able to give solace to the majority Malays in the Tanjung Piai constituency despite the Barisan Nasional candidate being from its Chinese party, the MCA, which benefited from the opposite concerns of Chinese education, interests and Malay assertion.

Umno people in Johor have been telling me Malay support has returned to them. Now Chinese support for PH is also lost. Grim. A hard slap in the face indeed. I am reminded of that brilliant advertising campaign by Saatchi and Saatchi which preceded Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative election victory in Britain in 1979. Just one line against a long dole queue of the unemployed in typically bleak winter: LABOUR IS NOT WORKING.Add to this the internecine conflict within PH which is causing it to be falling apart even as it is not functioning properly as a government.

Not able to fulfil the 2018 election promises and not functioning properly in government. Not holding together in power as it did in opposition, PH is showing all the signs of being a one-term government.
