00:00 Perikatan Nasional's failure to offer voters anything substantial caused the opposition

00:06 coalition the by-election for the Kuala Kubu Baharu state seat, say political analysts.

00:13 Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara said that a victory for PN's Kairul Azhari Saud would

00:19 have left constituents represented by someone in the opposition, potentially putting development

00:24 of the area at risk.

00:26 He said voting for PN had little to offer beyond signalling dissatisfaction with the

00:31 state and federal governments, adding that this alone does not carry enough weight for

00:36 voters to support them.

00:38 He also highlighted that people are satisfied with Amiruddin Shari's administration, which

00:43 contributed to the support for Pakatan Harapan's pangsok tau.

00:47 Meanwhile, Asmil Taib of University Science Malaysia said PN seemed unable to offer concrete

00:54 policies on bread-and-butter issues on the campaign trail, with the coalition focusing

00:59 on sentiment-driven issues.

01:01 He said the rising cost of living was often chief among the concerns of voters, and that

01:06 this by-election was no exception.

01:09 He added that Kuala Kubu Baharu voters would benefit more by voting for the incumbent government

01:14 since it's where the resources are.
