History | Sejarah
Pulai is a federal constituency in Johor Bahru District, Johor, Malaysia, that has been represented in the Dewan Rakyat since 1974. The federal constituency was created in the 1974 redistribution and is mandated to return a single member to the Dewan Rakyat under the first-past-the post voting system.
The BN political coalition dominated the Pulai constituency from its inception in 1974 until it was defeated in the 2018 election by the PH coalition. The BN coalition's long-standing dominance in the Pulai constituency had significant implications for the local political landscape. For decades, the constituency had consistently returned BN candidates to the Dewan Rakyat. However, the defeat of the BN coalition in the 2018 election marked a major shift in power, signalling a potential change in the political dynamics of the constituency and the broader region.
Simpang Jeram is a state constituency that has a representative in the Johor State Legislative Assembly. Under the first-past-the-post voting procedure, the state constituency was first put up for the 2018 election and is required to elect one Assemblyman to the Johor State Legislative Assembly.
The process of choosing candidates, and whether the voters choose a "heavyweight" or a fresh, forward-thinking candidate who can successfully carry out duties in the area, will be a key factor in the outcome.
Pulai ialah sebuah kawasan pilihan raya persekutuan di Daerah Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia, yang telah diwakili di Dewan Rakyat sejak 1974. Kawasan pilihan raya persekutuan telah diwujudkan pada pengagihan semula 1974 dan diberi mandat untuk mengembalikan seorang ahli tunggal ke Dewan Rakyat di bawah sistem first-past-the-post (FSTP)
Gabungan politik BN menguasai kawasan Pulai sejak penubuhannya pada 1974 sehingga dikalahkan pada pilihan raya 2018 oleh gabungan PH. Penguasaan gabungan Barsian sejak sekian lama di kawasan parlimen Pulai mempunyai implikasi yang ketara kepada landskap politik tempatan. Selama beberapa dekad, kawasan itu secara konsisten mengembalikan calon BN ke Dewan Rakyat. Bagaimanapun, kekalahan gabungan BN pada pilihan raya 2018 menandakan peralihan kuasa besar, menandakan potensi perubahan dalam dinamik politik kawasan dan wilayah yang lebih luas.
Simpang Jeram merupakan kawasan DUN yang mempunyai wakil dalam Dewan Undangan Negeri Johor. Di bawah sistem FSTP, DUN itu mula diadakan untuk pilihan raya umum pada tahun 2018 dan dikehendaki memilih seorang ADUN untuk Dewan Undangan Negeri.
Proses memilih calon, dan sama ada pengundi memilih calon 'kelas berat' atau calon segar, berfikiran ke hadapan yang boleh menjalankan tugas dengan jayanya di kawasan itu, akan menjadi faktor utama dalam keputusan pilihan raya ini.
