Abstract PAS has dominated the influence of the Kelantan people in the by-election. In order to anticipate the position of PAS in the15th General Election, early electoral socio-economic analysis was conducted taking into account the discussion and observation approach throughout the General Election 14th. Based on the findings through observations and group discussions as well as debates on current issues, the authors conclude that the resilience of the PAS status quo is due to several factors. In addition, PAS is also faced with the slightest opportunity in the event of unforeseen circumstances. The changing trends in the next general elections of electoral socioeconomic patterns in Kelantan are the opportunities any party to rule this state from PAS.

Keywords: status quo, 15th General Election, PAS, people’s hope, Kelantan

1. Introduction Kelantan was once dubbed the "The Sum of Malaysian Politics" by Mohd Asri in his opening speech at the 4th PAS Special Convention (1977). The uniqueness of Kelantan Politics was once expressed by Frank Swettenham and W.R. Roff as follows: “The people of this place have certain peculiar customs of which it may be mentioned that though they are Muhammadans, the women move about as freely as the men”. Meanwhile, William R. Roff stated that: “The Islamic States of Kelantan, in north-east corner of Mainland Malaysia bordering Southern Thailand, has existed as a locus of power in the peninsula for a least a thousand years, it paddy farmers and fishermen today constitute one of lar General Election concentrations of peasant Malay population in Malaysia. This…has undoubtedly given it many of its more important social-cultural characteristics. For many Malaysians and others, Kelantan has come—like Bali or Acheh in Indonesia—to symbolize remoteness and independence, physical, beauty and cultural vitality, allied with economic underdevelopment, religious peculiarity, and political radicalism” [8], [10]. Kelantan's privilege general elections are in many respects not only General Election graphically, but socially and politically [2], [9]. The uniqueness of Kelantan is reflected in its history of political literacy. Historical sketches at the 2018 General Election saw PAS dominate Kelantan. Although Malaysia was hit by a political tsunami in 14th General Election, PAS still maintained its status quo. Since 1990, political unrest and political unrest have not affected the support of the Kelantan majority in support of PAS. Thus, this paper highlights the importance of maintaining the status quo for the coming General Election 15th even though it is now seen through a prolong General Election phase of turmoil. To illustrate the development of political power in Kelantan, here is a brief discussion on political literacy in Kelantan during the past 14th General Election. Political literacy in Kelantan briefly began with the First General Election in 1955. UMNO under the Alliance has won all its contested areas in Kelantan [10]. However, the first election after the Independence of Malaya (August 1959), saw the victory of the Islamic party (PAS) to form a government in Kelantan as siting beginning legacy control 18 PAS state assemblymen under the leadership of Zulkifli Muhammad, Muhammad

In the 1964 election, the PAS party successfully maintained the features of the state government. The same is true in the next election (1969). During that time, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah had challenged the dominance of PAS in Kelantan politics. But the tragedy of 13th May 1969 had changed the way of Kelantan politics. Aftermath, a coalition government with UMNO (Alliance party) and PAS has occurred from 1970 until 1977. Despite that, PAS remained in control of the State level until the 1976 general election. In the year of 1977, PAS was separated from the National Front in Kelantan state government because the crisis of mistrust toward the Kelantan Chief Minister’s [1]. In the 1978 elections, the National Front took control of Kelantan with the support of the ruling party. Similarly, the 1982 and 1986 general elections, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, played a key role in empowering Kelantan UMNO. His leadership conflicts with Mahathir sparked the split of Kelantan UMNO and the establishment of the Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah (a coalition of PAS and Semangat 46) that took over the state government in the 1990 general election. Since 1990, PAS has maintained Kelantan as the central state opposition state to this day. In the 1995 General Election, PAS was strengthened under a coalition of parties with the Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah. However, the coalition with the Semangat 46 did not last long and split the following year. Nik Abdul Aziz Hajj Nik Haji Nik Mat has led the Kelantan government in every subsequent election [6]. In the 12th General Election, the National Front won only the parliament of its caliber candidates Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and Mustapha Mohamed with 6 UMNO assemblymen against People Pact, a new coalition between PAS and PKR (2008 General Election Report). Meanwhile in the General Election 13th (2013) also in favor of People Pact [7]. Please refer to the 12th General Election and 13th General Election in Table 1.

After the death of Nik Abdul Aziz, Kelantan's political pattern in Kelantan has changed entirely with People Pact's rise in the Malaysia politics player along with National Front. The PAS split resulted in the birth of the PAN (Parti Amanah Negara) under Husam Musa in Kelantan and its alliance with Hope Pact. The 14th general election saw a fierce 3-point contest in Kelantan between PAS, National Front (UMNO) and People’s Pact (PAN). Various situations are arise, including which party was the 'King Maker' in ruling Kelantan. PAS leadership has actually attacked PAN more than UMNO in the campaign period. PAN as a new party under the coalition of People’s Pact is trying to repel attacks from PAS. They realize how difficult it is to attract the older generation voters, so they seek to attract younger generations and middle-class voters while establishing many party branches. In fact, the 14th General Election results in Kelantan are still in favor of PAS. Just look at the following in Table 2.

3. Results and Discussion

3.1. Political Literacy 14th General Election as The Beginning of 15th General Election Politics Throughout the 14th General Election, the pattern and intensity of voting in Kelantan has been influenced by a number of political literatures on the wave of people's upbringing, economic issues, social media influence, young people's voice, cleric leadership and the lack of governance. It is expected to be raised in the 15th general election as the issues, issues and issues raised by the voters are the same and have a huge General Election impact. Here are some of the polemics that will make an impact:

3.1.1. Economic issues Following the 3-point match in the general election 14th, the economic issues at play were more open. Among the issues facing the BN government are GST, rising petrol prices and daily commodities as well as the fall of the Malaysian ringgit. Also in the conversation are the mismanaged in General Election of governance and the misuse and abuse of power, for example using all government machinery and assets for the benefit of the party. While PAS did not run away from the question of timber and other financial matter in General Election issues. At present, the economic issue is not yet resolved. It is further enhanced by various burdens such as some enforcement.

ISSN: 2005-4238 IJAST Copyright ⓒ 2019 SERSC 684 International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 28, No. 16, (2019), pp. 680 - 690 3.1.2. The role of political leadership Although Ahmad Yaacob became the Chief Minister and Nik Mohd Amar became Deputy Chief Minister, the influence of Nik Abdul Aziz seems to remain with the people when some of his videos and speeches are still in effect throughout the 14th General Election. Nik Amar also has a lot of political literacy besides Husam Musa, who is the Chairman of People’s Hope and PAN Kelantan. National Front won several Parliamentary constituency which was well-known figures led by such as Mustapha Mohamed, Anuar Musa and Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah who took office during the state and central administration in the 1970s and' 80s [4]. Other leaders like Mohd Alwi Che Ahmad as Kok Lanas assemblyman, Ahmad Jazlan as Machang Parliamentary member and Ikmal in Tanah Merah Parliamentary member in Kelantan Parliamentary constituencies since the year 2013 general election. The figure leadership of Mustapha Mohamed joins the Party Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia or PPBM and Ahmad Jazlan leads the UMNO leadership line after the 14th general election.

3.1.3. Governance issues The Kelantan UMNO has several governance issues especially in the Kelantan Federal Development Department which they have been given several tasks to develop Kelantan. This governance issue has been unable to maintain harmonious relations among people with varying political understandings. PAS and People’s Hope have no corruption or misuse power issue in Kelantan. The people of Kelantan are worried about this situation because of the uncertainty of maintaining a harmonious relationship among people with varying political understandings. In terms of maintaining the legacy of 'Kelantan as the Mecca of Islamic State', many say that PAS still has the ability to do so despite the state administration overshadowing some governance issues. As if to illustrate this, it cannot be an issue that can be detrimental to politics. All of this does not affect PAS's reputation as voters' hatred for the central administration (National Front) leadership overcomes. The culture of revival is still alive in the minds of the people of Kelantan despite the fact that the central government has changed in hands after 14th General Election.

3.1.4. The wave of the people's awakening The tsunami of the people's uprising in Kelantan refers to the rejection of the central government (National Front). Although the Kelantan people believe the National Front can resolve some issues, they also have greater influence compared PAS to resolve some key issues. The level of Kelantan people in PAS is still based on their belief that PAS is capable of resolving some of the governance and social issues that are happening in Malaysia and Kelantan in particular.

3.1.5. The influence of social media Social media plays an important role in shaping Kelantan's voting patterns. The most notable examples that won PAS votes were the video excerpt of Teacher Nik Abdul Aziz and some notable speakers like preacher Azhar Idrus. Nik Amar's volume video quotes speak more of the voters' sympathy for PAN, as well as Mahathir video clip. What is sad about fake news is that it also affects people's hatred for certain parties. The threat of fake news and its influence is still unknown.

3.1.6. The voice of young people and outsider voters The young generations below of 40 years which represents almost half (45%) of the Kelantan voters in the General Election 14th. This pattern of young voters includes most of the voters who return to Kelantan solely to win PAS and pro-opposition. The trend remains, further compounded by the Electoral Commission's vote to reduce the voting age to 18 years.

3.1.7. Source of political information The most trusted source of information comes from electronic media rather than print and online or social media. Basically, the three main sources of information choice for political development from the electronic media are TV3, TV1, and TV2 including the print media are Malaysia’s daily news and metro daily. The main sources of information for political developments referring to online or social media are face book, what apps, and you tube besides the influence of family, neighbors, and parents. The authors find that not all voters are re-evaluating the sources of information obtained. They are more likely to be influenced by this information even though it is likely to be false. This kind of electoral social is still relevant in the General Election 15th.

3.2. Opportunity and Risk of Pas Status Quo in Kelantan The PAS still have an influence on the younger generations of Kelantan people as well as the literacy and socio-electoral community in Kelantan. Although it can be seen throughout the country that the General Election 14th belong to People’s Hope, the Kelantan people are still with PAS. Based on a more focused discussion with Kelantan political analyst colleagues, the strengths that affect retention are:

3.2.1. The combination of Malay party After the signing of the National Charter of the Unity Assembly (Oct. 12, 2019) at the PWTC, the opposition representative present in the Kelantan state assembly was the only Mustapha Mohamed. All UMNO elected representatives include state opposition leader Mohd Alwi Che Ahmad has moved to support PAS. It is clear here that PAS does not have a strong opponent to defeat it in the 15th General Election.

3.2.2. Resistance to the 'Islamic Party' perception Many Kelantan voters say that PAS still has the ability to co-operate with Islam despite state administration overshadowing administrative issues such as waste collection issues and solving oil royalty issues, unemployment, exiting Kelantan people’s, increasing human capital development competency, rising low-cost homeowner land tax, the convenience of the disabled, the welfare of all the people regardless of race and religion, issues of land ownership, and water supply disruption. As well as road and bridge facilities and amenities, better organized urban and district infrastructure planning, both the Public Works Department and city planning do not diminish PAS's public support. As if to illustrate this, it should not be an issue that could jeopardize the PAS government when it is politicized even though some PAS voters prefer PAN when they cannot accept past leadership and governance flaws.

3.2.3. Effectiveness of Kelantan Hope Pact machinery Hope Pact in Kelantan is not ready to be a strong opposition so far as the party machinery is still in the process of reorganizing the party's leadership and organization. The PPBM are still building their reputation. Leaders such as Husam Musa, Mustapha Mohamed, Nik Omar, and others are still building new strengths. If they have not seen the true strength of the competition in the last 3 years, then their chances of taking over the government in Kelantan are slim.

3.2.4. The culture of Kelantan people’s The culture of the people of Kelantan is often cited by many as the main cause of rejection by the federal government. It's been through a long history. The people of Kelantan seem to be comfortable with the situation even though Kelantan is considered the backbone of Malaysia in terms of infrastructure development.

3.2.5. Current Issues Starting with the ICERD issue, then the UEC Dong Zhong issue and several other issues including the LTTE have gained the people's sympathy and support for the opposition. All this helps to support the struggle of the Malays and marginalized communities. The missile gives strength to the PAS party's resilience. Among the evidence is clear though it would not be politicization but signaled to support the success of the campaign 'Buy Product First Muslim' (BMF).

3.2.6. People's readiness for election promises Since taking over the government, people have been counting on the day to day promise of the Hope Pact government. Although in Kelantan the influence of the Hope Pact component is not strong, the people's voice demanding the government's pled General Election is clearly hurting its reputation and support. It's just that the people are still hopeful because they have no choice but to make the best of the government. But if the state government does not fulfill its promise in the General Election 15th, the people of Kelantan will be punished.

3.3. Challenge of General Election to Pas Status Quo in Kelantan While the facts are more supportive of maintaining the status quo, the challenge of the 14th General Election still remains. These are:

3.3.1. Voting support behavior PAS's strength is seen in the younger generations as the factors that support the party; the frequency of party leaders taking to the field and appealing to the people, a better manifesto for the long-term future of the country and party. Voters will often choose the party that has the manifesto to promote the development of the people and the State and the distant future, the party that advocates humanitarian issues (transparency, justice, human rights and anti-corruption), maintains racial unity and unity and can defend the religion and dignity of the nation. In the 14th General Election, many voters choose a party based on current issues. That is one of the key points played by influential political parties.

3.3.2. Current issues Among the current issues of concern and concern for the people of Kelantan are the increase of outsider’s voter, poor, and inadequate water supply, insufficient resources and the problems of the missing or clog drainage system, wild animals (pigs, snakes, poisoned animals, and stray animals) and uncontrolled diseases. The common issues such as integrity, corruption, leadership, lack of religious appreciation, land issues and logging. Young people are also not interested in involved in religious ceremony at the mosque, which has led to an increase in criminal cases, especially the theft of public and private property on teen social issues, suicides and drugs.

3.3.3. Economy and socioeconomic status The most important aspect of the economy is the tax burden that is burdensome and currency depreciation. Apart from the lack of government subsidies, high unemployment, as well as difficulties in finding employment even among the educated has led to the transmigration of working-class people out of Kelantan. Other concerns include low wage rates due to foreign competition, rising prices of goods, especially fuel, gas, and oil prices. Irregular city planning and lack of bank facilities are a problem for local financial transactions, as well as poor government assistance. In addition, the problem of monopoly business premises by certain business groups, for example the food eatery is monopolized

The fate of the small-scale industry has not been preserved. As such, there is a need for small traders, business sites, development of various sectors of the coastal and agricultural land.

3.3.4. Social In Kelantan, the social issues that should be addressed by the 14th General Election are drugs, horse pills and alcohol, illegal race issues, stigma of freedom sexual among the teenage, the influx of foreigners, especially from Thailand and Cambodia. Children are also less likely to their parents' attention due to work and personal problems. Adolescents, many people are wasting their time on worthless things. Over the next five years, it is estimated that the percentage of people who go bankrupt will increase by 30 percent. If that happens, the people will become insecure and unstable. This leads to social symptoms and violence.

3.3.5. Local and national politic leadership The mature political culture is viewed by many as a result of political differences or factions and lack of understanding among the supporters. As a result, the youths are divided and open-minded. In addition to the problem of the attitude of the leader does not go down the field, there is a bureaucracy in government departments. Leadership towards materialization does not come from the field that makes him or her as the leader. Poverty of the people is ignored, as is the Welfare of the elderly. Political forms of 'growth' (superstition, cronyism, factions, and nepotism) need to be eliminated.

3.3.6. Government policy It can be said that all informants want the tax to be abolished while government aid must be maintained directly at the grassroots. In addition, it needs to be improved SOP assistance that is not available to the people. Government policies are also seen by the majority as they are not in strict accordance with Islamic law. Some informants claim that there is no transparency in any policy made by the government when it is seen that government policies that are more helpful to foreigners and foreigners than the people themselves still need help. It is often the case that the government introduces new policies to the State.

3.3.7. Local grassroots such as the youth with sports needs Among the needs of the people is the need for increased income, the existence of basic facilities in their area such as computer center, religious or tuition center, gymnasium, sports complex, recreational park, and football field, beautify the existing landscape or gardens, remodel the village. In addition to holding special programs by a group; teenage, youth and the elderly are less support from the Kelantan government. Other needs that political leaders need to pay attention to are increasing religious programs for youth and youth, increasing competition to attract young people and foster peace and keep the city clean.

3.3.8. Security Basic amenities that need to be addressed immediately are uneven road problems, lots of holes and traffic jams. Other issues include contamination at the beach and public places, keeping a record of child crime, health and nutrition issues, especially clean water, house-breaking, property theft, snatching, family and neighborhood problems that require patrolling of neighborhoods, neighbors or RELA in the village.

ISSN: 2005-4238 IJAST Copyright ⓒ 2019 SERSC 688 International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 28, No. 16, (2019), pp. 680 - 690 3.3.9. Education People still lack religious knowledge and learning motivation. Therefore, the problem of Parent and the community's importance to education is important. There is no denying that the cost of education is high too. But there needs to be additional classes, orphan education and the disabled, skills based on the natural resources of an area and the needs of highly skilled and knowledgeable teachers.

3.3.10. Media The people want transparent, accurate and unbiased information for the sake of the people. This is because media are less productive, causing problems of abuse. Thus, there is a need for youth education programs, for example, the use of mobile phones in primary and secondary schools within the school district, for educational purposes only, to eliminate television entertainment. News readers and actors or entertainers must also dress politely and cover-up, tighten the censorship of electronic media such as the internet for many obscene media, increase media coverage on the Internet such as helping children learn and empowering the right level of information.

3.3.11. The issues that need to be included in the manifesto Among the key issues are the fulfillment of all that has been promised so far as stabilizing the Bumiputera economy, increasing the benefits of programs, more courses or job opportunities to school leavers and creating new economic activities. Other things like public transportation (taxi, bus, train and binding the relationship between the parties among Malay Muslims, implement hudud, pass RUU355 new right with the law of an Islamic state, increase financial aid to senior citizen The other thing that matters is whether we want to win the next 15th General Election, whether PAS or UMNO will have to sacrifice their mandate. There is a consensus to achieve before the 15th General Election and the UMNO leadership needs to be given more mandates, but it is still at the proposal stance in Muafakat National.

4. Conclusion This study is part of a socio-electoral observation during the 14th General Election that impacts the decision among Kelantan people until the end of 2019. It turned out that the combination of Malay party (PAS - UMNO), the change in policy and governance, economic and cultural leadership, the issue of local political scene Kelantan.
