(FMT) – The failure of the DAP to deliver on its general election promises last year was a factor in the swing against Pakatan Harapan in the Tanjung Piai by-election, according to political analyst James Chin.

The massive majority won by Barisan Nasional in the by-election tonight showed that Chinese voters had swung against DAP. It also showed that the partnership between Umno and PAS is working, he said.
