00:00 Bakatan Harapan runs the risk of forfeiting its deposit should it decide to field a candidate

00:07 in the Jepang state by election in Sarawak on November 4, said a political analyst.

00:13 Awang Azman Paui of University Malaya said it would be pointless for any party to contest

00:19 in Jepang as it is a stronghold of Parti Persaka Bumi Butera Bersatu Sarawak.

00:24 PBB is the dominant party in Sarawak's ruling coalition, Gabungan Parti Sarawak, which is

00:30 one of PH's coalition partners in the federal unity government.

00:35 Awang Azman said should PKR, a PH component party, decide to contest, it could strain

00:41 its relationship with GPS.

00:43 O A Son of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs agreed.

00:48 He said there was no guarantee that the PKR decision would improve PH's relationship with

00:53 GPS.

00:54 O said, "While GPS had consistently expressed its willingness to be part of whichever coalition

01:01 forms the federal government, it has not specifically indicated a preference for PH."

01:07 He said it would be better for PH to do GPS a favour by not contesting given that the

01:12 state coalition was likely to emerge victorious.
