00:05risked being wiped out at the upcoming state election

00:08should it choose to contest in Chinese majority constituencies, an analyst said.

00:14James Chin of the University of Tasmania cited the party's performance in the last election to support his claim.

00:21Chin said he expects SAPP to collaborate with party solidarity Tana Ayurku,

00:26which also exited GRS, adding that Star President Jeffrey Kitingan

00:31is planning to form a coalition of local parties ahead of the next state election.

00:37O. A. Sun of the Malaysian Pacific Research Centre said,

00:40now that SAPP is no longer part of GRS, it is free to contest in any seat it chooses,

00:47a factor that may have played a major role in its decision to leave the ruling coalition.

00:53He said that had the party remained in GRS,

00:56it would have had to settle for a limited number of seats

00:59and possibly contest constituencies that were not in its favour.
