- PAS and UMNO have been urged to clarify early how they would form and administer a government if they cooperate in Malaysia’s next general election.
- Analyst Sivamurugan Pandian said voters want to know not only the candidates and parties, but also who would govern after the election.
PAS and UMNO need to explain early what form of government they would establish if they reach an understanding to contest Malaysia’s 16th general election, according to a political analyst.
Voters want more than a list of candidates and parties, the analyst said. They also want to know which groups would form the government and how it would be administered after the election.
The call came from USM political analyst Prof. Datuk Dr. Sivamurugan Pandian, who argued that clarity about the post-election governing arrangement should come before voters make their choice.
