Parti Amanah Negara has expressed frustration that Pakatan Harapan's campaign emphasising government performance failed to secure voter backing in Negeri Sembilan, where identity politics dominated the contest.
PKR will not engage in a contest with Umno or Bersatu over which party is 'more Malay,' nor will it challenge Pas on Islamic credentials, party leader Saifuddin says.
Pakatan Harapan secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has called on Malaysians to abandon divisive identity politics and instead evaluate government performance on concrete issues like poverty eradication and economic growth.
