The ruling BN coalition, as well as the PN alliance led by Mr Muhyiddin, have been highlighting achievements in their COVID-19 response, especially the “quite substantial” Prihatin economic relief packages, said Dr Lee.
“Clearly, they think that it was well received, and something that could actually help their cause.”
Mr Muhyiddin believes that his management of the health crisis will help him win votes.
But opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim of the PH coalition has accused the former prime minister of failing to control the pandemic, resulting in a high number of deaths in Malaysia.
Prolonged COVID-19 lockdowns can also be blamed for a rise in unemployment and poverty, said Mr Anwar.
Malaysians are facing high costs of living, higher inflation and stagnant real wages, said Dr Lee.
“These conditions generally would favour the opposition, and you see Pakatan Harapan is sort of hammering on that front and blaming the government for the current economic woes.”
But some Malaysians may look back and feel that things have since improved, he added.
“There was definitely widespread discontent, and some things were inadequate, but Malaysia did extend a lot of assistance in wage subsidies and loan embargoes, and also the vaccination programmes.
“So, it really can work in various ways, to the advantage or disadvantage of the different parties, depending on how they play it.”
Mr Amir, the analyst, agreed that “rivals are trying to attack one another with regard to COVID-19 handling”.
Yet experts believe many Malaysians who struggled during the pandemic just want to move forward.
Mr Amir said: “At the end of the day, the real issue that the voters are concerned with is the economy and how to move forward.”
SHRINKING MIDDLE CLASS, STRUGGLING BUSINESSES
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with inflationary pressures, has made Malaysia’s recovery momentum “very slow”, said Mr Amir.
The economy expanded 6.9 per cent in the first half of the year and is expected to grow stronger. Unemployment rates have also dropped, from a high of 5.3 per cent in May 2020 to 3.6 per cent in September this year.
