A leading figure has accused major Malaysian political parties – Umno, PAS, and DAP – of employing “ghost politics” tactics. This strategy involves casting each other as threats to incite fear amongst voters and garner support. The leader alleges that these parties are intentionally fueling anxieties to secure votes during elections. Essentially, they are using fear as a tool for political gain, portraying opponents as dangerous entities. This tactic is seen as a manipulative attempt to influence public opinion and exploit voters' concerns. The accusation highlights a concerning trend in Malaysian politics, focusing on division and fear-based campaigning.
