The president of Hati, Chan Tse Yuen, speaking in a press conference at the launch of the party on Friday.PETALING JAYA: Discontented voters are likely to back the opposition in the next general election instead of voting for a newly-formed outfit, a political analyst said in dismissing Parti Hati Rakyat Malaysia鈥檚 aspirations.of the University of Tasmania told FMT that Malaysian voters are unlikely to rally behind a new party simply because they do not believe it can form a government.鈥淚f people are unhappy with Pakatan Harapan, they will vote for Perikatan Nasional. So there鈥檚 already a clear choice. People understand that the next election will be a battle between PH-Barisan Nasional and PN.鈥滺ati, which was unveiled on Friday, has positioned itself as an alternative to voters frustrated with the current government.James Chin.Chin also does not think that many Malaysians would want another hung parliament, which had forced the royals to step in to help form a new government.The current unity government is a result of a hung parliament following the outcome of the last general election, after no party secured a clear majority.Chin also said that should the party decide to partake in the impending Sabah polls, 鈥渢hey are guaranteed to lose their deposit.鈥滱s for Hati鈥檚 prospects in the next general election, Chin said the party has two years to make a name for itself, but said it would be an uphill task as it does not have a prominent leader.And as it stands now, the top leadership 鈥渋s virtually unknown鈥.Hati is led by former MCA Youth deputy chairman Chan Tse Yuen. The other leaders are deputy president Abdul Razak Abdul Khalek and vice-presidents Dr Lim Hong Jun, Derrick Kok, and Chee Chee Meng.Chin said voters generally would not support parties that they believe won鈥檛 be unable to bring about real change. 鈥淚n Malaysia, if you want to make real change, you鈥檝e got to be in government or at least in one of the big coalitions.鈥滱zmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara said Hati would struggle to gain traction even if it were to form alliances with other minor parties, such as Muda and Parti Sosialis Malaysia.Azmi Hassan.He also likened Hati鈥檚 potential strategy to Bersatu鈥檚 early play for dissatisfied Umno supporters.鈥淭he modus operandi here would be like Bersatu鈥檚 strategy 鈥 if you鈥檙e not happy with Umno, come vote for us,鈥 he said. 鈥淏ut I think it will be very difficult for Hati because there is no track record, even for their leaders. So how can you attract the dissatisfied PH voters?鈥滺e said it would be easier for PN to woo unhappy PH supporters.Azmi said Hati, like Muda, would learn that it cannot survive alone or rely solely on personalities. 鈥淗ati needs a bigger party, not PSM or Muda. In this case, it鈥檚 PN.鈥
