Malaysia's ruling coalition faces electoral pressure after third consecutive defeat

Malaysia's ruling coalition, led by Pakatan Harapan (PH), has suffered its third consecutive electoral defeat in eight months, with a significant loss in the Negeri Sembilan state elections. The coalition's largest party, the Democratic Action Party (DAP), experienced a notable setback as its chief, Anthony Loke, lost his Chennah constituency seat after 13 years. These repeated losses, following similar poor showings in Sabah and Johor, are raising concerns for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's government, which was formed by an alliance of former rivals. AI
