Malaysians can expect another drop in petrol prices next month before the Kuala Terengganu by-election on Jan 17 but according to PAS information chief Mahfuz Omar, this would not stop the voters in Kuala Terenggau from voting for the opposition. Mahfuz, who is also Pokok Sena member of parliament, said during the Permatang Pauh by-election on Aug 26, petrol prices were reduced by 15 sen but the people still voted for PKR’s Anwar Ibrahim..."The trend since the general election has been for the people to continue supporting the opposition. This tendency will continue," the PAS information chief told Malaysiakini today...Mafuz said another point of confidence PAS had for winning Kuala Terengganu was that it had won three state seats within the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary constituency...Mahfuz also expressed confidence that the non-Malay voters would support the PAS candidate. (Source: Malaysiakini). No doubt that the political landscape in Malaysia has changed. Nevertheless, Pakatan Rakyat should not be over confident in this KT by-election. The strategy in the last general that saw only one-to-one contests with BN (either PKR, PAS or DAP against BN) had worked well. Hopefully, PR will once again work well to win!!
