00:00 MUDA's unique open structure will attract Selangor voters, says one of the party's candidates.
00:08 In an interview with FMT, Sri Muda candidate Dhabi Chew says this is why the party can
00:13 thrive in a developed and progressive state like Selangor.
00:18 Political party in Malaysia is not very accessible in the sense that if you are younger, you
00:24 get put into a youth wing.
00:25 If you're a woman, you get put into a woman's wing.
00:28 And you have to contest among your own party in that sense before you can even have an
00:31 opportunity to lead or to even direct policies or provide feedback.
00:36 To me, MUDA doesn't have any of those things.
00:39 So if it's a new young leader that wants to come out in an organisation or a political
00:43 organisation without any of the existing baggages, I think MUDA is the right platform.
00:48 However, Chew warns that the party must make its mark on the electorate quickly for its
00:53 own sake and that of the nation.
00:56 So if we can't thrive in a seat like this, I think it really spells bad things for MUDA
01:01 in general.
01:02 But I think it spells worse for Malaysia because it means people are still willing to just
01:06 blindly vote for PH or PN because they think that that's the more viable option in PJ.
01:13 On whether MUDA will split Pakatan Harapan's votes, Chew says this is unlikely.
01:19 Even if we split significantly, odds are the end result is still PH wins or MUDA wins.
01:25 It's not going to be a PM victory.
01:27 My guess is PM might have 20, 25% at most and the rest will go between MUDA or PH.
