Yoursay: PAS be wary, Amanah may have last laugh

YOURSAY | 'Who knows, PAS might just lose every seat they stand in.'

PAS mocks Amanah for receiving the least seats

Ronald: Amanah may have the least number of parliamentary seats in Pakatan Harapan among the coalition partners.

But I would not be surprised if Amanah wins more seats than PAS in the forthcoming general elections. Amanah shall have the last laugh, at the expense of PAS.

Mindful: Amanah is a new party. It will definitely grow. The current number of seats allocated may be low, but what is important is winning those.

There may be a party going for all parliamentary seats in every state, but ends up even losing their deposits.

We know which party is going to be the most unpopular in this election. If this party is not aware of it, then it is equally good that it is totally ignorant of what the people need. They can continue living in caves.

Anonymous 2443871479002035: Amanah, look at the bigger picture. Think of the rakyat. Think teamwork. Don't put your interests above everything else.

Your day will come. But for now, the mission is to knock out BN. The only way to do this is to work as a team and leave personal interest out of the equation.

Quigonbond: My wish for GE14 in Kelantan is that Nik Mohamad Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz retains his seat, but his party colleagues get wiped out by Amanah.

Then I'd like to see whether he is still ‘tersengih-sengih’ (grinning).

V George My: Nik Abduh, it is well known that Amanah’s weak position was due to PAS’ unholy electoral association with Umno, which affected Amanah’s position with Harapan immensely.

PAS’ current strategy of a very minimal win in parliamentary seats, and even less than 10 federal seats, as a deal with Umno to keep Kelantan, is what should be condemned in the strongest possible terms.

Nippon: PAS should mind their own affairs first before sticking their nose into others. Does PAS think it can win every seat it contests?

You never know, they might just lose every seat they stand in.

Falcon: What's so funny, Nik Abduh? Is a strategic allocation of seats beyond comprehension by your warped mind?

Fair and Square: Nik Abduh should realise that it is not how many seats you are allocated that is important, but how many you win.

PAS will get all the seats that Umno knows it will lose. PAS will become history after the next election, and will be forced to merge with Umno.

This will be divine punishment for using the name of the Almighty for personal political gain.

Perak Boleh: PAS can contest in all 222 seats and lose their deposits in 200 of these seats they contest in.

They can then have their deposits returned for the remaining 22 seats, as a measure of sympathy.

Zero seats allocated, FT Amanah grieves sad day for party

Dr Ng SC: Patience, Amanah. The 14th general election is a GE to save Malaysia.

We need to nominate seasoned people with a proven track record this time around. Amanah is still new, they should do well with what it is allocated – winning them all, or 90 percent of them.

Then we will see Amanah with a bigger role come GE15.

Tekad: If PKR and DAP are sincere, they should volunteer one seat each to Amanah in the Federal Territories and Johor respectively because Amanah has winnable candidates.

Sinner: So, who are the prospective Amanah candidates for the Federal Territory seats? Can they win?

Is there wisdom in removing a tested incumbent and replacing them with likely novices?

Anonymous_3e86: Indeed, why complain about seat allocations? The main objective is to field a winnable candidate, and give each candidate the support to win this election.

Cooperation is important. Win this election first.

Otakechik: Amanah is still a small party, they should focus at the state level to build its strength first, and not just leap into the national arena.

Quigonbond: I bet Amanah will feature strongly in Kelantan. Surely there's an offset elsewhere.

Regional party leaders cannot think in silos, but must work towards the collective good of the entire party and the coalition.

I hope they will unequivocally support the contesting Harapan party, even in seats that they had their eyes on.

Anonymous 2469701494820788: Only in existence for two years, and Amanah wants to make demands. They should wait their turn.

Amanah needs to be tested first. Even Hindraf didn’t get seats, and they were giant slayers in 2008.

Legit: Amanah should take on PAS and not Umno. PAS is likely to field their strong candidates in rural areas and state seats. So leave DAP, PKR and Bersatu to fight Umno in urban and semi-urban areas.

As the smallest and among the newest party in the Harapan coalition, please be reasonable in your request for seats. The last time, your candidate lost in the by-election in semi-urban Kuala Kangsar.

Amanah should feature strongly in Kelantan and Terengganu. This is where your strength lies and this is where you should fight your main enemy, PAS.

Hang Tuah PJ: The math is simple - PKR and DAP stand a better chance of winning in the Federal Territory than Amanah.

One should know the trend of voters in the cities. In hindsight, maybe Amanah can try out at Putrajaya, home to all the government zombies. - Mkini
