KOTA BARU, July 15 — A study revealed that the majority of voters in Kelantan are dissatisfied with how the state is run, PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli claimed today.
He said monthly data obtained by PKR through independent polling firms showed that only 43 per cent were happy with the state government, with the latest results obtained in May.
“We have been studying the approval ratings of the prime minister, ministers, the federal government and state governments each month since June 2016. So we have a long list of numbers and for 2023, from January this year, there has been a decline and a shift among voters in Kelantan,” he said.
He told reporters this after attending a Madani roadshow programme in Kampung Parit Limbat here today.
Rafizi, who is also PKR election director, was confident that the data was a true reflection of the dilemma currently faced by the Kelantan electorate.
“They understand that after 33 years, Kelantan is lagging far behind in many things... development, poverty eradication, basic infrastructure,” he said.
Rafizi said it was now left to PKR, Umno and Amanah to convince the fence sitters that they should pin their hopes on the Unity Government.
“We have about four weeks so insya-Allah, my focus is to work together with the second-echelon leaders in the Unity Government and state-based leaders to ensure there is momentum at every level.
“... while senior leaders such as the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Ministers will focus on building support through big programmes,” he said. — Bernama

The dilemma of Kelantan poll!
ReplyDeleteThe local resident knows the dire sopo situation they encountered day in & day out. They have resigned & felt apathetic to the circumstances. No more fightings/doubts against those spiritual charlatans of daily tolls. Besides, old age is exaggerating their will towards a promised afterlife by their indoctrinated belief.
The youths r mainly returnees from outstation. They see the vast differences in wealth/religious temperament/evil deeds of the modern & advanced city lifestyles which r compressing them towards the bottom level of that social strata due to their kampong trainings & mentality.
Thus, the olds don't care while the youth see social decays & oppressions by the 'liberal' federal govt. Together they firm that dominant support for that zombieic administration of non performance!
Rafizi ignored the results of the last GE.
ReplyDeleteWhat is not admitted is the indoctrination the rural folks are subject to in Kelantan.
So long as PAS controls the madrasahs and sermons in the mosques, the party will always be able to sell to voters that PAS has the answer to their path to paradise despite the pathetic record in Kelantan.
How then do we explain Kelantanese voting PAS despite the water supply woes which will not be resolved for another 30 to 40 years?
