00:00Core UMNO voters in Sungai Bakar remain on the fence as they head to the polls tomorrow,

00:06despite having voted for Perikatan Nasional during the state election last year, says

00:10a think tank.

00:12It said its survey of the Sungai Bakar electorate revealed that the UMNO supporters who had

00:15cast their ballots for PASU's Norizami Latif last year were not as inclined to vote for

00:20PN again.

00:22While a group of them said they would still back the opposition coalition, others expressed

00:26uncertainty and were still mulling their options, it said.

00:29Ilham Center also said support for PN reached its peak during the six state elections last

00:33August and has since tapered off.

00:36It said the mood among young voters who turned out in large numbers to support PN last year

00:40has clearly changed, as their sentiments of support are not as strong this time around.

00:45Meanwhile, the think tank said Chinese voter turnout stands to have a significant impact

00:50on the by-election, with the community seemingly less excited about the unity government.

00:55It said the lack of enthusiasm for the PHPN alliance was due to the government's economic

00:59policies and the state government's performance so far, particularly when it came to water

01:04and infrastructure issues.
