Melaka: Identity Politics Vs Ground Game?
Melaka goes to the polls tomorrow, with 79 candidates contesting 28 state seats and Barisan Nasional eyeing a hat trick after Johor and Negeri Sembilan. The question is whether the UMNO and PAS cooperation can hold together at the ballot box, and whether younger, first-time voters will look past identity politics. On The Breakfast Grille, Ibrahim Suffian, Co-Founder and Programs Director at the Merdeka Center for Opinion Research, assesses voter sentiment, expected turnout and Najib Razak's move to house arrest. He also weighs in on Bersama's decision to do it alone, and whether the result could pressure the Prime Minister to call an early general election.
