A political analyst said Bersatu's call for its members to gear up for a snap general
00:06
election at the end of this year is driven more by its weakening position than the likelihood
00:11
of early polls.
00:13
James Chin of the University of Tasmania said the party's leadership is aware of its diminishing
00:17
influence, which is why they needed to prepare early for general elections to address weaknesses
00:23
in its machinery.
00:24
Last week, Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin urged party members to prepare for a nationwide
00:29
election by the end of this year.
00:32
Asril Hadi Abdulassami of ADA Southeast Asia said Muhyiddin's call is more about creating
00:38
doubt and destabilizing the government.
00:41
He also said Bersatu was trying to imply that Anwar lacks political support and that the
00:46
unity government may not last its full term.
00:49
However, if a general election does take place, Asril said Bersatu and PAS may run separate
00:55
campaigns under PN due to ongoing tensions.
00:58
OE Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs said a snap election would be a distraction
01:04
for Gabungan Rakyat Sabah, which is already focused on its upcoming state election.
