Faizal, who is known as Peja, said politicians such as Ramasamy were in no position to comment on Malay support for Bersatu or PN.

“How do they understand Malay voters’ sentiments when they don’t even talk to or befriend Malay voters? We should not be discussing the views of people like that,” he told Berita Harian.

Ramasamy, who is deputy chairman of Penang DAP, had said in a Facebook post earlier today that PN’s momentum was waning as elections to six state assemblies draw closer.

The coalition, comprising mainly Bersatu and PAS, had made large gains at the parliamentary general election in November. Ramasamy described it as a temporary phenomenon resulting from certain socio-political conditions.

Faizal said that PN would continue its efforts to win voters in Ramasamy’s state so that it could form a state government that represented all people.
