00:01Bersatu's proposal for a united opposition front is likely to fall flat, according to an analyst.

00:08Asmi Hassan of Academy Nusantara said the proposal aims to unite Bersatu and other Prakatan National components

00:14with all parties and groups opposed to the current government.

00:19Asmi said parties such as Muda and Pejuang and the various other splinter groups

00:23were so small that their inclusion in the united opposition front would make little to no difference.

00:30Meanwhile, University Tunggu Abdurrahman's Chin Yiman believes Bersatu's proposal is part of a strategic plan

00:37to reassert PN's position in the political landscape.

00:40He said this was particularly relevant now as the Malay unity slogan has lost its appeal

00:45and Bersatu now seeks to make PN more approachable to non-Muslim voters.

00:50Chin said this was a well-considered move given growing public concerns over recent unity government policies

00:56such as the expanded sales and service tax, the rising cost of living, and the appointment of senior judges.

01:03As to whether it will work, he said it may appeal to the Malay-Muslim segment

01:07who are not already supporters of PN, though the non-Malay and non-Muslim segments will need more convincing.
