Parti Amanah Negara has expressed disappointment that Pakatan Harapan's performance-based campaign failed to resonate with voters in the Negeri Sembilan state election, as identity politics and racial narratives dominated the political discourse.
Pakatan Harapan's secretary-general has cautioned the coalition against engaging in identity politics with rivals Umno and Bersatu over Malay interests or competing with PAS on Islamic credentials, arguing such contests benefit no one.
Pakatan Harapan secretary-general and Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has called on Malaysians to abandon identity-based political discourse in favour of evaluating government performance on economic growth and poverty reduction.
PKR will not engage in competitive claims about being 'more Malay' than Umno or 'more Islamic' than Pas, instead urging voters to judge parties on tangible performance and delivery.
