Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali predicts that BN will retain federal power in the next general election, despite the ruling coalition suffering from a crisis of confidence.

Citing surveys, the veteran politician claimed that 90 percent of the people rejected Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

"Everybody rejects Najib. But at the same time, they (the analysts) also say BN will not lose. Isn't this strange?” he asked in an interview with Malaysiakini and Free Malaysia Today (FMT).
