KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 — Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA) is prepared to contest in the 15th general election (GE15) if the general election is held soon or otherwise, said its chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Dr Mahathir who is Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) chairman said GTA will ensure victory with sufficient seats to enable the coalition form the government.

“We are confident whether (GE15 is held) early or late, we are ready to contest. We want to stand in in sufficient areas to form the government.

“Even If we do not win more than 50 per cent, we would be the largest victorious party, then we would try to form alliance with other parties so that we would attain more than 50 per cent to be the government.” he told a media conference after opening the 2022 National Assembly organised by Berjasa here today.

On Aug 4, Dr Mahathir announced the setting up of GTA, a coalition to empower the Malays especially in the field of economy and would field candidates in 120 Parliamentary constituencies in Peninsular Malaysia especially in Malay majority seats.

For a start, GTA has four parties namely Pejuang, Berjasa, Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia (Putra) and Parti Perikatan India Muslim Nasional (Iman).

Asked whether it is suitable to hold GE15 this year, the former prime minister is of the view that the general election would not be held this year as the government is not ready.

“I expect not before the budget but I think they cannot have it too early because they are also not prepared. So the government party is trying to find a slot where they will be well accepted by the people,” he said.

On support from Sabah and Sarawak, Dr Mahathir said GTA has its support from both states, in fact there are more supporters there than in the peninsula.

“So the support from Sabah and Sarawak for the four parties here is really strong, they are part of our party,” he said, adding that Warisan is not part of the coalition.

Earlier, in his speech, Dr Mahathir said the GTA will field one candidate to contest in each constituency.

“We are not fighting among ourselves. All of us, whether we are from parties, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) or individuals, we will all support the GTA candidate. If we have four parties, we will fight among ourselves, each supporting their own party. so can’t win,” he said. — Bernama

Give him another chance, and we will hear the same, 'malays are lazy', 'poor people should not be jealous of wealthy people', or 'poor people smells bad' coming from Mahathir! And yet still, the poor malays support him!

Sorry bro. PH given a chance to govern but they failed . Even their 100 days manifesto they also cannot achieve. They are the one prepare it and they cannot meet their own KPI. What more to say. We in bursa lagi sakit because of out flow of FDI and the worst bursa in the world. Its a record you know. PH can become opposition. But if you put them in driving seat i.e give them the country they cannot perform and they are the worst because they cannot full fill anything except gst which later cause huge vaccume in country revenue and cause us to sell our assest and take money from petronas and other gorn investment arm. PH lucky BN left them with a lot of money in petronas and so on.

Why should wait until next year? PH is the one who want the mandate to be return back to Rakyat as soon as They lost putrajaya. They even call the next govern after them with all sort of things and name i.e Kerajaan pintu belakxng...kerajaan tebuk atap ....and so on. So now is the opportunity to conduct election after we return to endemic, c19 case low and many state election done. Economy also moving very good, inflation under control and among the lowest in Southeast Asia and FDI in flow and Trade are in very good condition. Why you want to wait PH ? You are the want who want election previously and now you change your mind when you see your party being slaughtxred in Melaka, Johor and Sarawak.

The best thing PH can do now is seek forgiveness from Rakyat that kencing in last election. They continuously lie to the people even after lost Putrajaya. Seek forgiveness from Rakyat and see la if Rakyat can still trust them and vote for them. The power abuse, corruption, lie to the people and incompetency of PH leaders last time really still in people mind. They need a few more years to clean that up and bring more competence leader on board.
