KUALA TERENGGANU:
The Islamist party PAS, regarded as Barisan Nasional’s biggest rival on the mainland, has conceded that BN will win the Sarawak election by a two-third majority.

PAS central election director Mustafa Ali said his prediction was based on BN’s ability to attract voters in Sarawak by solving issues in the state, especially rural areas.

“I feel BN will continue to govern Sarawak and win by a two-third majority, there may be places where the party will lose seats but overall BN will be in power,” he told reporters at the Kelab Wartawan Terengganu office, here yesterday.

Mustafa said PAS viewed the people of Sarawak as a community that focused merely on local issues instead of national issues.

He said Adenan Satem’s leadership qualities since taking over as Chief Minister had gained the trust and confidence of the people. “Tan Sri Adenan Satem has a feel good factor to win over the people of Sarawak,” he said.
