Why Johor remains a key battleground for GE15, according to DAP’s Chin Tong

KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 — As anticipation builds over the 15th general election , Johor DAP chairman Liew Chin Tong has predicted that the state will be a key battleground once more.

“So no one is certain which way it will go, as we heard that some big Umno names are worried about urban seats and these were seats which they used to win. “That is the scenario we are facing now: Umno is weak, and the Opposition is not getting its act together,” he added. “Whoever forms the government will have to win semi-urban seats. It is places like Muar, Pagoh, and even to a certain extent, Sri Gading, all these Malay-majority semi-urban seats, which have sizeable non-Malay seats, these are actually heavily contested, and there were no seats that swung in the last election,” he said.Although acknowledging that the Opposition bloc is still working towards determining a new narrative, Liew said he is hopeful that PH will come out strong in time for GE15.

“It has been a good 15-year run, and in those 15 years, I think our supporters did not expect too much from us. They only expected us to fight for them and champion their causes, whatever the causes were.Liew said the Johor state election in March was an interesting gauge, as it offered a few observations, one of which was voter turnout.

“You talk to many people in Umno. They feel BN can win around 70 seats. I understand where the numbers are coming from, as I do not dispute that BN is in a better position than 2018.

cash is king in the state.. u stand a chance if n only if u got lots and lots of cash ..
