He mentioned that Chinese voters are already ensured to provide their support to this new coalition.
"This time, I request the Malay constituencies, in particular, to support our candidates, both PH and BN. Is that possible?
"The Chinese voters seem organized and assured. God willing, this is a trust that we will carry to defend the people's fate," he said during his speech in front of dozens of supporters at a eatery in Sungai Pinang, here today.
Meanwhile, speaking to the media after performing the Friday prayers at the Qaryah Kampung Perlis Mosque, Anwar stated that he disagrees with the survey reported by a news portal yesterday.
According to the survey, only 24 percent of Malay voters support and are satisfied with Anwar's performance as the Prime Minister.
"I don't agree with that. It's a flawed analysis. Perhaps they took it from Kelantan compared to Selangor.
"In many of our states, we've performed very well. I'm very optimistic," he said.
Earlier, a survey suggested that only one out of four Malays in states holding the state polls are satisfied with Anwar Ibrahim's performance as the Prime Minister.
This finding is based on a survey involving 2,416 respondents in Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, and Pulau Pinang conducted by Ilham Centre last month.
The respondents were randomly selected in a stratified sampling, indicating that only 24 percent of Malay individuals said they were satisfied with Anwar, compared to the Chinese community (88 percent) and the Indian community (81 percent), which were more positive.
