“Not only do the Chinese have nothing against PEJUANG, I have met many businessmen and tycoons from the community who feel that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad performed ten times better than Muhyiddin and Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri did post Langkah Sheraton”

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has lost the plot, and I suspect that he may have been duped by Rafizi Ramli into believing that PKR is doing very well and will win big at the upcoming 15th general election.
But this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Fact is, UMNO is suffering from a massive support deficit, and already, my three month old prediction that a hundred or so divisions will either boycott or sabotage the party’s election campaign has come true.
There is ample evidence that a large number of UMNO strongholds have turned into ‘grey and black zones’, comprising fed-up voters who will guarantee that Barisan Nasional loses big time, bagging between 29 to 33 seats, tops.
Of course, a large number of these fed-up voters (hereinafter referred to as “the fed-up group”) are going to channel their votes elsewhere, and given that UMNO champions the Malay-Muslims, their votes will surely end up with parties that beat the same drum.
Well, guess what?
PEJUANG too champions the Malay-Muslims and is contesting in practically every seat UMNO is contesting. If I can see this, so can the fed-up group.

PAS, on the other hand, is more conservative and champions only the religion of Islam, meaning, if someone in UMNO wants to support PAS, he or she is likely a right-leaning Muslim.
But you only have a limited number of right-leaning Muslims in UMNO, and one sociologist I know put the estimate at 30 per cent, give and take five.
If follows, PAS and PEJUANG will benefit most from the fed-up group, though PAS will gain less and PEJUANG will gain more.
And there is ample evidence to suggest that UMNO Malays will never support Bersatu come hell or high water.
But what about PKR and AMANAH?
Well, the whole universe, the netherworld and even my milkman know that UMNO Malays will never support the DAP or any party seen associated with it.
In short, if anyone is to benefit from ‘revenge votes’ by the fed-up group, it most certainly will not be Bersatu, PKR or AMANAH.
So, if Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim were smart enough, he would have fielded DAP candidates in UMNO strongholds with a reasonable number of Chinese voters (say, 25 per cent or more).
This is because the Chinese are very skeptical of PKR and AMANAH but will continue to support the DAP.
Skepticism began when the audio clip featuring Anwar and Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi went viral, and escalated when Zahid sent a letter to Istana Negara expressing support for Anwar.
The Chinese will never vote for PAS, and needless to say, they will never forgive Muhyiddin for destroying the country’s economy and for the half-past-six Movement Control Orders he implemented.
But not only do the Chinese have nothing against PEJUANG, I have met many businessmen and tycoons from the community who feel that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad performed ten times better than Muhyiddin and Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri did post-Sheraton.
It follows, PEJUANG will benefit most during the upcoming general election, and Anwar’s strategy of fielding AMANAH and PKR candidates in UMNO strongholds is going to hit Pakatan Harapan very hard.
Now do you understand why UMNO, AMANAH and PKR will lose out to PEJUANG in several hot seats?
