COMMENT | Myopic if Khairy stands on Bersatu ticket
COMMENT | Speculation that Khairy Jamaluddin may dally with Bersatu, if it eventuates in him contesting on a Bersatu ticket in upcoming state polls, will be a strategic error for the former Umno Youth leader.
This is because Khairy is a centrist Malay leader while Bersatu is a right-wing Malay party, one that’s now under a cloud due to a raft of corruption charges levied against its top party officials.
Both Bersatu and PAS did well in the 15th general election last November, which was credited to a “Green Wave” that swept the northern and eastern states of the peninsula.
