  • Frankly, PH should not be greedy and let UMNO take most of the seats in Kelantan and Terengganu. PH is obviously very weak in most seats in the 2 states. Be united to face the formidable enemy in the lion's den. At the same time, UMNO should not be too ambitious in states already controlled by PH. Look at the bigger picture and the overall number of seats to be contested by each party. Then it would be much easier to come to a compromise.
