00:00So, when I read and hear media, the message that was sent by the Minister Selangor and also Khalid Samad
00:12is that we lost because there was a narrative in the PRN campaign in the 9th and for me, I
00:25think it works both ways.
00:27Because before this, Pakatan Harapan had a benefit or benefit from the movement, maybe indirectly, in which they said that
00:42the non-Melayers must be together so that they can get more power.
00:46Former Bang EMP Ong Kian Ming said PH also benefited from racial narratives in past elections and should not blame
00:54its Negeri Sembilan defeat solely on BN and PN's identity politics.
01:00Speaking on the Keluas Kejap podcast, Ong said PH once rallied non-Malay voters to unite, while BN and PN
01:07had been appealing for Malay unity.
01:09He said it works both ways. PH may also have benefited, albeit indirectly, from calls for non-Malay voters to
01:17unite.
01:18Former Minister Khairi Jamaluddin agreed, saying PH previously used coded references to the Green Wave to encourage Chinese voters to
01:26back the coalition.
01:27Former UMNO Information Chief Sharil Hamdan argued, identity politics has long been part of Malaysia's political landscape, and PH should
01:36have countered it with a stronger performance-based narrative.
01:40Ong also questioned why PH did not field more local councillors and Malay village chiefs, saying candidates with proven grassroots
01:48records could have helped attract more Malay voters.
