Voters unhappy with state administration over wide range of local issues, say observers

PAKATAN Harapan’s loss in the recent Sungai Bakap by-election was not entirely due to the federal government but rather the failure of the Penang state government for not addressing local issues, political observers said.
They told The Vibes the defeat was a referendum on the Penang state government led by Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow rather than Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s administration.
Ilham Centre executive director Hisomuddin Bakar said while voters, especially non-Malays were unhappy with the removal of the diesel subsidy, they were also disgruntled with the state government for not solving local issues such as the water crisis in the state.
