KUALA LUMPUR: The crushing defeat of Pakatan Harapan (PH) in Sabah has sparked fears that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim could become a one-term leader. DAP, PH’s traditional Chinese vote bank, lost all eight seats it contested, with support in Chinese-majority areas collapsing by over 50 percentage points.
Anwar faces one-term risk
Analysts warn that if this urban and Chinese voter exodus spreads nationwide by the 2028 general election, PH faces electoral annihilation. Grassroots leader Norton Cheng accused DAP of repeatedly mobilising Chinese support only to ignore their grievances after gaining power, citing top-scorer Edward Wong’s rejection from a public university course despite straight As. The Sabah result exposes deep disillusionment with PH’s slow reforms and delivery failures, potentially ending Anwar’s premiership after just one term.
