00:00Chinese voters were reportedly not enthusiastic about voting for Pakatan Harapan due to dissatisfaction

00:09with the government's economic performance, Ilham Centre Executive Director Hisomudin

00:14Bakar said.

00:16He said disappointment with the economic recovery and dissatisfaction with the new targeted

00:21diesel subsidy shaped the views of the voters.

00:24He said Chinese voters appear to be becoming critical of the government, but they have

00:29not gone so far as to vote for Perikatan Nasional.

00:33He also claimed that the DAP machinery which leads the state government was not very aggressive

00:38in this campaign.

00:40Meanwhile Mazlan Ali from University Technology Malaysia said he expected this protest from

00:46middle and upper income groups who do not benefit from subsidy assistance.

00:51He said PN successfully played the narrative of fuel price increases, making the public

00:56feel as though the government was not fulfilling its promises.

01:01He also said Malays came out to vote earnestly to protest against the government, adding

01:06that the issue concerning the global investment firm BlackRock, which was linked to the takeover

01:10of Malaysia Airport's Holdings Berhad, was an added factor.
