He said in reality, the Malay tsunami did not exist, and the community was still with Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN).

In-depth studies done by Umno and BN had found that the majority of Malay voters were still with Umno and BN, he told reporters after launching the Penang BN Youth “Briged Gempur 2314” here, today.

Opposition think tank, Invoke, recently predicted that Kedah, Perak and Johor will fall into the hands of Pakatan Harapan, in addition to big margin victories in Selangor and Penang following a Malay tsunami.

Invoke director Rafizi Ramli when presenting a survey with 2,000 respondents, said it revealed that Malay support for BN had dropped to 28% last month, from 41% in December last year.

On Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) move to use the PKR logo in the election, Khairy said it clearly showed that Dr Mahathir Mohamad was willing to forego his own principle of opposing Anwar Ibrahim.

He said the move showed Mahathir had forgotten his past struggle of not wanting Anwar to become prime minister.

“This is a decision that I think people can evaluate, the PKR flag came to existence because of their opposition to Dr Mahathir, and now, he (Mahathir) is willing to set aside his principle of opposing Anwar Ibrahim and contest under the ‘Reformasi’ flag just to come into power,” he said,

Mahathir, during an event in Johor last night announced that PH candidates would use the PKR logo to contest in GE14.

The decision on the use of the logo was made after the Registrar of Societies issued a temporary suspension order against PPBM.
