KUALA LUMPUR, March 30 — Former Umno supreme council member Dr Mohd Khir Toyo has singled out five states which will be difficult for Barisan Nasional (BN) to win or retain in the next election, saying that the ruling coalition’s old formula of attracting voters no longer worked.
The states named by Khir were Penang, Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Perak as well as the Federal Territories, where the influx of newly-registered voters has resulted in an almost equal demography between Malay and non-Malay voters.
“These are tricky... Penang, Perak, Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Wilayah if you look at these voters, the non-Malay voters are almost equivalent to Malay voters in terms of numbers, they are almost balanced.
