PAS is expected to survive the Sungai Limau by-election with a win, though with a slimmer majority, according to a study done by research firm Ilham Centre.<\/p>\n
The study, which collected samples from some 600 voters in the constituency’s 19 voting districts from Oct 28 to Nov 1, predicted a negligible change in voting patterns.<\/p>\n
In their latest survey on who voters would pick, PAS led by 48 percent and 42 percent for Barisan Nasional. The remaining 10 percent were still undecided.<\/p>\n
According to Ilham Centre executive chairman Mohammed Hisommudin Bakar Muhammad (pic), PAS’ strong voter support among the voters in the area is the main factor for the expected win.<\/p>\n
\u201cStudy on the voting patterns do not show a major cross-over for both parties. This scenario would strengthen our conclusion that Malay voters are comfortable in retaining status quo in their party of choice,\u201d said Mohammed Hisommuddin.<\/p>\n
He said Chinese voters, consisting only 6.7 percent of the total voters, were seen to be more wary in their voting pattern this time.<\/p>\n
\u201cChinese votes are said to be close to the rational choice model which considers the profit and loss, and the impact to their community.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
