00:00Former MCA Vice President T. Liang Kerr outlined several strategies for PAS to woo Chinese and
00:05Indian voters, including doing away with religious and political rhetoric. He said PAS should focus
00:11on issues affecting the public instead of harping on Malay supremacy and political Islam, which he
00:17said terrified the non-Malay Muslim electorate. He said Indian and Chinese voters tended to assess
00:23a party based on how it resolves issues related to the economy, education, cost of living,
00:29and job opportunities. PAS should also approach the Chinese and Indian communities sincerely
00:35instead of viewing them through a political lens, he said. He said PAS should take part in cultural
00:41activities and multicultural forums, visit places of worship, and empower their non-Muslim leaders
00:47in the supporters' wing. His remarks followed an invite by PAS Deputy President Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man
00:54for MCA and MIC to join Perikatan Nasional after several MIC and MCA state chapters pushed their
01:01parties to leave Barisan Nasional due to discontent over the lack of government positions.
