Selangor Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali has placed priority on engagement with the rakyat over the survey results released by PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli's Invoke Centre for Policy Initiatives (I-CPI).

"It is only a survey, but I think the most important priority now is for all political parties to go down and reach out to the rakyat and voters, to explain our policies and positions.

"We must be seen and we must get our act together as a strong and formidable force to face Umno and BN," Azmin, who is also PKR deputy president, said when met by reporters in Shah Alam today.

The results of the election would be based on their engagement with the rakyat and voters, he said.

Rafizi's I-CPI released the results of their preliminary survey on Thursday, which found that only four out of 10 Malay voters surveyed would vote for BN in a three-cornered fight.

"Even in a three-cornered fight, at the rate that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is going, there is a chance that he will lose," Rafizi had said then.

I-CPI had also run several simulations of the elections based on their survey results, all of which showed the possibility of a PAS wipeout.

When asked if their plan to be seen as a formidable opponent against BN still included cooperation with PAS, Azmin said they were willing to work with any party that supported PKR's reformation agenda.

"(We will cooperate) with all political parties that subscribe to the agenda of 'reformasi'.

"We are more than happy to work with them, including parties in Sabah and Sarawak," he said.

On a separate issue, Azmin reiterated Selangor state executive councillor Elizabeth Wong's stand on the 'no plastic bag' campaign.

He said the state government had no intention to enact any laws to dictate how retailers use the 20 sen collected for each plastic bag.

"Right now no decision has been made to have any laws (regarding the plastic bags).

"We leave it to the retailers to provide their services," he said.

Wong had previously said a similar thing, adding that the state government had asked retailers to do their own accounting and pick their own corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes.

"I don't think the state wants to collect the money. We are not ROS (Registrar of Societies). We don't want to tell them 'you must give (your money) to this (cause)'," she had said.
