00:00Barisan Nasional's landslide victory in the Makota by-election has demonstrated that
00:06Pakatan Harapan's voter base is transferable to BN.
00:11This is what Johor DAP Chairman Liu Qingtong said in a post today, adding that the results
00:16augured well for further cooperation among the parties that form the unity government.
00:21Liu pointed out that BN candidate Syed Hussein Syed Abdullah secured 27,995 votes last night,
00:28nearly matching the combined 28,056 votes PH and BN received in the previous state election
00:34when they were rivals.
00:37His remarks come despite a party source saying the voter turnout rate was low among Chinese
00:41and Indian voters, while Malays made up 63% of the voters who turned up to cast their
00:45ballots.
00:47Liu also said BN's victory in Makota showed that the collaboration between PH and BN is
00:53the winning formula for the next general election.
00:57He believed that the unity government would be able to convince middle ground voters
01:00with effective governance and inspirational policies.
