00:00Political analysts say Ammanah's goal of winning five state seats and one parliamentary seat in Penang at the 16th general
00:07election is unrealistic.
00:10International Islamic University of Malaysia's Lao Tzu Wei said Ammanah may be able to demand more seats, especially Bersatu held
00:17seats, if Pakatan Harapan goes solo, but if Ammanah works with PH, Ammanah would likely contest Bersatu seats.
00:24Meanwhile, Sunway University's Wang Chin Huat said, Ammanah may get fewer seats than it wants if PH cooperates with Barca
00:31Nacional, though PKR may have to cede some seats if PH and be in clash.
00:37University Malaya's Awang Asman Paui said, Ammanah's failure in several parliamentary and state seats shows its inability to gain traction
00:44among the Malay grassroots, especially with UMNO and PKR also eyeing Penang's Malay majority seats.
00:51He said demanding too many seats could strain PHBN ties, while giving in too much would keep it a minor
00:57player, although it could still target marginal seats or the semi-urban Malay belt.
01:02Both Lao and Awang Asman questioned whether Ammanah can win Malay voters in the heartlands where PAS and Prikata Nacional
01:08are entrenched.
01:09Lao warned that Ammanah may face challenges winning over non-Malay voters, especially members of the Chinese community, who are
01:17growing increasingly frustrated with the federal government and PH.
