00:00Political analysts foresee former PKR Deputy President Rafizi Ramli and his new party,
00:06Parti Bersama Malaysia, pulling their punches against Pakatan Harapan even as it seeks to
00:12compete against the coalition.
00:14University Science Malaysia's Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid and Shaza Shukri of the International
00:19Islamic University Malaysia said Bersama is likely to target specific leaders instead
00:25of launching a broad anti-PH campaign.
00:28Shaza said the party is likely to maintain good relations with the AP, adding that Bersama
00:35appears reform-centric and more aligned with PH's policies than Perikatan National or Barisan
00:42National.
00:43She added that Bersama and Rafizi are more likely to work with PH again after elections, provided
00:49the party wins seats and described Rafizi and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad as pragmatic figures willing
00:56to cooperate with those who share their vision.
00:59Meanwhile, Fauzi said Bersama's immediate goal would likely be to deny Anwar Ibrahim a second
01:05term as Prime Minister, while targeting leaders close to him such as PKR Vice President Ramanan.
01:12He also suggested Bersama may try to attract sympathetic figures from PKR, Amanah and DAP,
01:19while painting Anwar as a deterring reformist.
01:23Despite opposing Anwar, Fauzi said Bersama is unlikely to form a pact with PN because Rafizi and
01:30Nik Nazmi's idealistic and multiracial vision strongly contradicts Muhyiddin Yassin's Malay-first
01:36approach.
