Yoursay Will Pkr Using Its Own Logo Matter In Sabah Polls

YOURSAY | ‘If there is cooperation, the banner used is a secondary issue.’DAP using Warisan banner won't sway PKR from its own logoDAP to contest under Warisan banner in SabahMcLovin: Warisan logo or PKR logo - what is the difference? As long as they are in the same boat, have the same enemies, and fight the same fight, that’s what matters the most
Amanah and DAP can use any logo they want. So can PKR. This is because they believe their chance of winning is bigger that way. Isn't that what democracy is all about
In Sabah, the number of PKR members is second-highest behind Selangor. They built their grassroots well so it's not right to ask them to use Warisan’s logo
Both DAP and Amanah know that the non-Chinese would be less inclined to vote for them because they will be seen as a foreign party and have no business in Sabah. By using the Warisan logo, the locals will be more accepting of them
Malaysia Bharu: It is a wise move by DAP to use the Warisan logo. Being a peninsula-based party, it is certainly an advantage to use the Warisan logo to project a united force needed to take on the frogs who were about to grab backdoor power
PKR is a disappointment. They are not willing to reveal the reason they are against using the Warisan logo that would go a long way in projecting a united front in addition to helping win this election
It was precisely this kind of strange, self-serving behaviour that contributed to the defections and break-up of the Pakatan Harapan government
Undecided: If the other parties in the Harapan Plus group are happy with the seat allocation, then the logo used should not be an issue. After all, PKR is already a well-known party in Sabah, Sarawak, as well as Peninsular Malaysia
If there is cooperation, the banner used is a secondary issue. It is good for Harapan to gauge PKR's strength in Sabah in a state election using its own logo after the Sheraton Move
The main thing is the pragmatic allocation of seats and taking on the opposition in a united manner
IndigoTrout2522: When PN-BN component parties could not act together (with disagreement on seat allocation), it showed a crack in the coalition. It may not be a big deal for some but it certainly shows a lack of unity
Again, PKR should not have made an announcement on the logo until the Harapan presidential council makes a firm decision
In this case, PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim was wrong. Hopefully, Anwar and PKR will reverse its decision and use a common logo as that will make a strong statement that the coalition is united and working together
Newday: How much different is this, of DAP being under the Warisan banner than PAS being under the BN banner
I suppose at least Warisan is strictly a Sabah brand, but that is about it. Mind you, I am not a Sabah native, just ignorantly commenting from afar
Anonymous 5035: At the end of the day, Warisan president Shafie Apdal is former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s man. The latter started all this and ended up losing the rakyat's mandate to Perikatan Nasional (PN)
Coming under one logo doesn't mean anything in today's political scenario. How well did using the common logo work in the previous general election
Obviously very well for Bersatu, who took us for a ride and made use of the common logo to further their ends and upended the rakyat's hopes
As for Anwar and his party, I think we should just respect their decision to use their own logo. Win or lose, come what may
PurpleKijang9104: With his obsession with wanting to become the prime minister, Anwar’s dream may come to an end with his party’s refusal to use a common logo
Is he trying to be the kingmaker in Sabah like what Mahathir has been telling his Pejuang
Anwar is taking a gamble. When he doesn't want to be a team player, how do others respect him? It's best for PKR to end the dream of pushing Anwar as the next premier
BlueShark1548: As expected, Anwar's PKR is the spoiler. PKR claimed it has more than 170,000 members in the state but how many are former party deputy president Azmin Ali's people
Anwar is a nobody in Sabah yet PKR is looking for so many seats. Any PKR win would be due to Shafie's hard work and popularity with the locals, not Anwar
In Sabah, parties without deep pockets cannot win elections and more so on result night - how to control defectors
AGT: PKR spoils it all. It ignores solidarity. If the intention is to put Warisan back in government, then PKR has betrayed the primary agenda. It never learns
Odysseus: Anwar, the ball is at your feet. Play as a team player or if you choose to go it alone with the PKR logo, you won’t be seen as a leader of the pack. Just a lone wolf gunning for the PM job
The Wakandan: In Sabah politics, there are so many frogs from big to small, fat to thin. You name it, they’ll have it. They are the champions in the game of frogs
So, it does not matter what logo the candidates use. What matters is after the election, whether they are still where they are supposed to be
The reason why we are having this snap election is precisely because of frogs
In a blink of an eye, allegiances changed and the government fell. Party leaders should worry more about whether they can keep their members. They should worry about former chief minister Musa Aman’s influence
In the land of frogs, it would be difficult to rein in the slippery creatures. So, watch out. - Mkini
