Tony Pua’s Delusion -BERSAMA Voters Were Never Yours
The claim that BERSAMA “split” PH votes in Johor is intellectually dishonest and mathematically absurd. If those votes truly belonged to PH, they could not have been split in the first place.
The very fact that they were split proves they were never PH’s to begin with.
In Sabah, there was no BERSAMA — yet DAP was wiped out. That alone destroys the splitting narrative.
The votes BERSAMA captured in Johor were anti-PH votes that would have either stayed home or gone to BN to punish PH. BERSAMA did not steal PH support; it channelled existing rejection of PH.
The Stulang Reality Check
PH won Stulang by a razor-thin 623-vote majority. BERSAMA took 1,372 votes there.
Even if only half of those BERSAMA voters had stayed home and the other half voted BN, DAP would have lost the seat.
Far from hurting PH, BERSAMA indirectly helped them hold Stulang by absorbing votes that would have otherwise gone against them
DAP’s popularity among Malay voters is near zero.
BERSAMA’s top three performances out of 15 seats contested were all in Malay-majority areas: Permas (3,147 votes), Larkin (2,737), and Mahkota (2,711). These are not PH votes being “split” — these are Malay voters who were never coming back to PH. BERSAMA simply gave them a vehicle.
The Numbers Don’t Lie — PH Lost Because PH Is Rejected
DAP failed to retain four seats. BERSAMA did not contest Jementah (DAP lost by 913) or Tangkak (lost by 3,182). In Johor Jaya, despite BERSAMA contesting, DAP was crushed by over 7,268 votes.
DAP was demolished in Bekok (4,263 majority loss), Yong Peng (4,603), Parit Raja (13,576), and Paloh (6,199) — all without BERSAMA contesting.
All 7 seats where PH lost their deposits were seats where BERSAMA did not field candidates. PKR and Amanah hemorrhaged deposits in Malay heartlands untouched by BERSAMA.
Amanah’s majority in Simpang Jeram collapsed from nearly 2,800 to just 170 — a more than 90% drop — even though BERSAMA did not contest there.
PH lost 48 out of 56 seats they contested, even though BERSAMA only challenged them directly in 6. The scale of the rejection is overwhelming and cannot be blamed on a small third party.
Cherry-Picking Is Intellectual Fraud
Tony Pua and PH’s narrative that BERSAMA cost them Perling and Bukit Batu is nonsense. BERSAMA gained 2,996 votes in Perling and 821 in Bukit Batu — votes that were never going to PH. These are among the highest Indian-population seats. The idea that Indian voters remain loyal to DAP/PH is pure delusion at this point.
The Truth PH Refuses to Accept
BERSAMA’s participation actually helped reduce BN’s majorities in the 15 seats it contested by absorbing anti-PH sentiment. Those voters were lost to PH long before BERSAMA existed. With or without BERSAMA, PH would still have been rejected.
Tony Pua should stop peddling half-baked analysis, manipulating data, and engaging in emotional blackmail. Stop the fear-mongering, fake news, and self-delusion that BERSAMA voters are secretly PH voters.
Those votes do not belong to you. They never did. The sooner PH accepts this bitter truth, the sooner they might begin to understand why they are collapsing.
