As we near GE16 (the hints are getting stronger), I wonder how can a religious-looking leader from a nationalist party managed to get this kind of mandate?

I’ve always had this question. Sometimes our politics seems strange. In 2013, DAP (a social democratic party) united with PAS (an Islamist party), and now MUDA and Syed Saddiq—who often emphasize their ‘progressiveness’—seem to be drifting away from their ideology and becoming more pragmatic in their political positioning.
