Segi Enam’s Research Principal, Khor Yu Leng, was recently interviewed by China Daily regarding Malaysia’s 15th General Election results, titled “Tight Election Leaves Malaysia in Limbo”. Below is an excerpt from the interview:
The hung parliament is the result of feuding among political elites and a highly polarized electorate, said Khor Yu Leng, director of Segi Enam Advisors, a consultancy in Singapore. Election Day produced "surprise upsets as big names were easily toppled by the green Islamic wave", she said.
She was alluding to PAS, which has adopted green as its party color, and how linking up with PN has "harnessed youth support" and won among swing voters.

In the past two weeks, Malaysians have taken to the social media to vent their frustrations over the handling of the surge of COVID-19. Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin who had built his legitimacy on his swift tackling of the COVID-19 earlier this year saw his popular streak came to a grinding halt. Public sentiment turned against him in what they perceived as double-standard when his cabinet members were not subjected to quarantine upon returning from campaigning from Sabah.
