MALACCA POLLS | Bersama co-leader Rafizi Ramli has joked that his party’s supporters would “slaughter” him if it joined a political coalition, arguing that voters are growing tired of alliances driven by the pursuit of power.

“I think if Bersama suddenly decides to join or hold discussions with a coalition, these people (supporters) will slaughter me.

“So the political situation in Malaysia right now is chaotic because of coalitions, and these coalitions are formed on supposedly pragmatic grounds to gain power,” he told reporters while accompanying Bersama’s Bukit Katil candidate Aliza Che Amran today.

Bersama is contesting 16 seats independently in the Nov 14 Malacca state election, despite failing to win any seats in its electoral debut in Johor in July.
