Bersatu membership dispute will have little impact on Anwar's majority, say experts

 Coverage from the New Straits Times . KUALA LUMPUR: Any decision on the membership of the six Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) members of parliament will not affect the majority enjoyed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's administration, said experts. They said even if by-elections were called and Anwar's administration lost the six seats held by Bersatu, he would still maintain a comfortable majority. Universiti Teknologi Mara political analyst Shahnon Mohamed Salleh said the six constituencies were also considered "trivial" from Pakatan Harapan's point of view if it didn't win them. "So it's a small bump in the road for the prime minister and there'd be little impact." Full report: Bersatu membership dispute will have little impact on Anwar's majority, say experts
