PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional must go on the offensive if they want to get the Malay vote in the upcoming elections in six states, say political analysts. They said since the Opposition is almost completely made up of Malay-Muslim parties, much more needs to be done to regain votes that the ruling parties lost in the Malay heartland. Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Penang, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu will be holding their state elections soon as their state governments did not dissolve their state assemblies for the 15th General Election (GE15) last November.
