    And then what to be exact? It’s a survival move for Gerakan. Quitting PN meant that they’ll only be fading away as a small irrelevant party with the likes of PRM, PSM, and such. Joining PH would mean death for the party ala MCA since no one will give them a seat to compete.

      PAS may humiliate them but in the end PN knows that they need to pretend to be a multicultural coalition - not because they care about non-Malay voters but because they need to convince Malay voters that they are not really racists if they vote for PN.
