My comments on results of Malacca state elections which was a welcome surprise

The outcome of the recent Melaka state election had sent a clear message that the people want political stability in the country and thr outcome also showed that people were against the culture of political “frogging”. This is especially for voters, because they vote for us as individuals who represent the party. Of course the people get angry because they voted for candidates from a particular party and then they ran away, That’s why you see those frogs losing in Melaka.

It is a good development because the people have shown that they want political stability. We can’t run from that, and I believe the people of Melaka are fed up with political leaders who jump here and there, and have been fighting with each other and disrupting the government’s work.

Those who contest and win on a party ticket should not jump ship later on as this would mean turning their backs on those who had lent them their support during the election. I have never seen Barisan Nasional (BN) win with so much style in Melaka. Even though UMNO is facing internal problems due to its leadership, you can see that the people are still willing to vote for the party. This shows that the people have trust in the new leaders who were brought in as candidates.

The Melaka state election was triggered by the move by four former assemblymen who withdrew their support for the leadership of Sulaiman Md Ali, who was sworn in as chief minister again after BN’s victory on Saturday. The recent election saw Barisan Nasional (BN) winning 21 of the 28 seats it contested, while Pakatan Harapan (PH) won five seats and Perikatan Nasional (PN) only two.
