00:00In the interest of not losing the bulk of the Chinese support it now commands, it pays
00:05for DAP to keep its options open, including the possibility of leaving the Pakatan Harapan
00:10coalition, an analyst said ahead of the next general election.
00:15University Science Malaysia's Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid said the party must weigh its
00:19choices carefully if it hopes to retain long-standing Chinese support, pointing out that its popularity
00:25has recently waned.
00:26He noted that grassroots Chinese groups have already begun pressing for a resolution
00:32to long-standing issues, such as the United Examination Certificate, amid resistance even
00:38from PKR leaders.
00:39Fauzi added that external factors could also affect DAP's non-Malay support, including
00:45the widening schism between Rafizi Romney's faction and the PKR leadership.
00:50This open conflict, he said, could affect BH's hall of urban and non-Malay votes, especially
00:56if the former economy minister contests against the coalition.
01:00James Chin of the University of Tasmania said a third force in itself would not shake DAP's
01:07stranglehold in G16, although the party's hold on certain seats may be tested severely if challenged
01:13by candidates with strong public credibility.
