Significance
This followed a prominent display of placards at the PKR's conference in favour of the imprisoned Anwar Ibrahim becoming prime minister, a position the party has long held.
Impacts
- The BN-led government will likely support another push by the PAS to pass Islamic criminal punishment reforms in parliament.
- This would add to pressure on the PH, as Amanah also favours Islamic politics.
- Ahead of the election, the government will likely prioritise East Malaysian infrastructure projects.
