Political divide

The political climate in the country is now clear. The battle line has been drawn. On one side we have PH consisting of PKR, Bersatu, Amanah, DAP and Warisan as a partner while on the other side, we have BN consisting of Umno, MIC, MCA and PAS. Looking at the composition deeper, we can see that the divide is more or less racially motivated. The non Malays are mostly with PH while the Malays are with BN. That's what clearly happened in Cameron Highland. The reason BN won is nothing more than because all the Malay voters from PAS went to BN. That carried them through. PH held its ground while BN also was able to do the same. The difference was PAS. PH has to work hard to get the more Malays on their side. Otherwise, we will see a battle royal in GE 15.
