Umno needs drastic change to stay in govt, analysts say
- Umno must shed its racist image and abandon its aggressive demeanour if it wants to return as a partner in the unity government after the next general election, political analysts say. They said the party must also appeal to a Malay electorate that is more sophisticated and regain the support of those in the heartland.
The article from MSN discusses the urgent need for UMNO, Malaysia's oldest political party, to undergo significant changes to maintain its relevance and position within the government. Analysts argue that UMNO must address internal issues such as leadership, party structure, and its approach to politics to prevent further decline in voter support. The party has faced challenges including corruption scandals, leadership disputes, and a shift in voter preferences towards other political entities. Suggestions for reform include embracing younger leadership, promoting transparency, and redefining its political narrative to appeal to a broader electorate. The article highlights that without these drastic changes, UMNO risks losing its grip on power, especially as the political landscape in Malaysia continues to evolve with new coalitions and parties gaining traction.
