PETALING JAYA, May 2 — Selangor PKR expressed confidence today that Pakatan Rakyat (PR) will win two-thirds of the state seats in the next general election, saying support for the pact has not dwindled.

Selangor PKR information chief Shuhaimi Shafiei also refuted the notion that the coalition’s Malay support was dwindling, pointing out that the recent Sarawak election had shown the reverse.

“Results from the Sarawak election show an increased support in Malay areas,” Shuhaimi (right) told reporters today.

“Voters, even though they are Malays, still reject Barisan Nasional (BN),” he added.

Selangor PKR deputy chairman Zuraida Kamaruddin said it was a “small matter” for PR to secure a two-thirds majority in the Selangor state assembly.

“I don’t think it’s a problem this time for us, not just to get two-thirds, but the whole of Selangor in the 13th general election,” said Zuraida at the same press conference.
