00:00 Political analyst Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara believes Perikatan National's combination

00:08 of Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Muhyiddin Yassin and Abdul Hadi Awang could pose a formidable challenge

00:14 to Barisan National in the Pelangai Bayi election.

00:18 Azmi said, "Mahathir, Persatu President Muhyiddin and Past President Hadi have successfully

00:25 positioned themselves as protectors of Malay and Islamic rights."

00:31 He said, "By working together in the campaign, they would project DAP as being too strong,

00:37 UMNO too weak, and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim unable to control DAP's actions."

00:44 To counter the trio's influence, Azmi suggested that "we emphasize the position of Pahang

00:49 Menteri Besar Wan Rusti Wan Ismail as the head of the state government" as evidence to refute

00:55 PN's assertions regarding the weakening of Malay power, at least in Pahang.

01:02 He said Wan Rusti's position would show a Malay leader still holds the reins of power

01:06 in Pahang and is capable of maintaining control over PH Assemblymen.

01:12 Another analyst, Mazlan Ali of University Technology Malaysia said, "While Mahathir's

01:18 conclusion was no guarantee of helping the PN cause as he had failed in leading his former

01:23 party Pejuan in the 2022 general election, he cautioned that the opposition's threat

01:28 should not be taken lightly by the BN-PH alliance."
