BN 'rock' Johor set to fall to PR: Disgusted Malay voters leaving Umno


BN 'rock' Johor set to fall to PR: Disgusted Malay voters leaving Umno
Pakatan Rakyat’s chances of coming to power in Johor are seen as bright if continuous efforts to woo Malay voters is strengthened, according to a finding by PAS's Research Center today.
The centre's director Zuhdi Masduki said its analysis showed that 13 parliamentary seats in Johor - namely Segamat, Labis, Ledang, Bakri, Muar, Batu Pahat, Keluang, Gelang Patah, Teberau, Pasir Gudang, Johor Baharu, Pulai and Kulai - could tip over to PR at the coming polls, with less than 50 percent support from BN's grassroots.
Zuhdi however said the outcome would ultimately be decided by the fence-sitters.
Eight of the 13 seats, said Zuhdi, were mixed seats where BN’s support had dipped below 44 percent.
"Many of them are mixed constituencies, where the difference between Malay and non-Malay composition is not big,” he said.
He claimed that support for PR from Malays increased by 2 to 3 percent mainly among the youth and middle class.
Coupled with a shift in Chinese votes, Zuhdi (left) projected that at least seven parliamentary seats currently held by BN would fall to the opposition.
At the state level, Zuhdi said there were only 26 'safe seats' for BN, namely Buluh Kasap, Kemelah, Bukit Serampang, Jorak, Serom, Bukit Naning, Sungai Balang, Semerah, Sri Medan, Semarang, Parit Yaani, Parit Raja, Penggaram, Senggarang, Mahkota, Kahang, Panti, Pasir Raja, Sedili, Johor Lama, Penawar, Tanjung Surat, Tiram, Benut, Pulai Sebatang and Kukup.
He said factors such as the controversial RAPID project in Pengerang, the problems faced by Iskandar corridor as well as the plight of Felda settlers could all contribute to BN's dwindling support.
According to Zuhdi, the naming of PR’s Johor Menteri Besar designate could boost support for the coalition.
