00:00Amanah's values-based politics approach could attract new voters if the party shakes off the impression that it relies too
00:07heavily on the strength of its coalition partners, an analyst says.
00:12Ahmad Zaharuddin Sani, Ahmad Sabri of Global Asia Consulting said Amanah appeared increasingly dependent on Pakatan Harapan instead of its
00:21own influence to garner voter support.
00:23He said fellow component parties PKR and DAP appeared more dominant than Amanah in mobilizing their core voter base.
00:31Thus, he said Amanah's frequent emphasis on values-based politics had yet to translate into tangible political strength on the
00:40ground.
00:40Yesterday, FMT reported that Azli Yousuf, a member of Amanah's National Leadership Committee, said the party aimed to project values
00:48-based politics,
00:49a modern and inclusive vision of Islamic politics that it believes Malay voters are ready to embrace.
00:56Mazlan Ali of University Technology Malaysia said values-based politics had the potential to attract support if implemented consistently,
01:05adding that mature politics, welfare-oriented politics, or the Madani concept still had a space in society.
01:12He said Amanah's main challenge was educating the public to understand that Malay dignity should be upheld not through dominance,
01:20but through positive values and meaningful contributions to society.
