Analysts expect Forest City spat to be major GE issue

Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia's (Bersatu) ongoing opposition to the Forest City project in Johor will likely dominate the next general election campaign, said prominent analysts.

In a report by the South China Morning Post today, analysts said they believed that Putrajaya's recent multi-billion deals with China and the of influx Chinese real estate developers had caused public unease.

Bersatu, in particular its chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad, had in recent weeks been continously accusing Putrajaya of undermining the country's sovereignty through the Forest City project.
