New: Liew Maps Battle Plan As Key Swing Clusters, Southern Strongholds to Decide GE16

Deputy Minister Liew Chin Tong identifies two key swing seat clusters for the next GE:

1. Permatang Pauh-type cluster (Penang’s Seberang Perai, Southern Kedah, Northern Perak) — 65–75% Malay voters, strong non-Malay presence; winnable for PH-BN if they secure 40–50% Malay votes, high non-Malay support, and strong turnout, replicating Selangor’s voting pattern.
2. Southern Perak–Northern Selangor cluster — PN-held seats potentially winnable if the Selangor formula is applied effectively in a straight fight.

Battle Plan

In Johor, Melaka, and Negeri Sembilan—where PAS and Bersatu are weak—PH-BN cooperation is key to retaining 24 GE15 seats. Winning again hinges on managing coalition unity, focusing on secondary cities, small towns, and rural areas, and addressing policy blind spots affecting both rural families and urban migrants who vote back home, says Liew in an oped in a pro-Pakatan Harapan website.
