Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali foresees an interesting contest in the Sungai Besar by-election if PKR is pitted against BN rather than with other opposition parties.

Ibrahim said if the seat is contested by PAS, he is worried that the Chinese voters in Sekinchan would not vote for the Islamist party.

“It would be a good contest if PKR is pitted against BN. In the last general election, PAS was still with Pakatan Rakyat which saw the Chinese voters in Sekinchan rooting for PAS," he said.
