“Sad because I lost the elections in Kota Bharu, but I want to have a ceria (joyful) mood, that’s why I choose this.
In my view, there were so many differences, two sides to it. Pakatan had a chance to win and BN too if there was no competition with PAS.
PAS was a determining factor but because UMNO had coaxed them out of the Opposition, into a three corner fight, the votes was split, and in the end it worked in favour of Pakatan. A two-sided fight is better for a bigger majority win in parliament, but the three corner fight was the wrong strategy for BN.
In the end, if you don’t feel the heat of the political and economic ambitions of the people, they won’t have rallied behind us.The biggest struggle came from the people. We are the servants of the people and the people made a choice.”
