Melaka crisis shows ‘confused, divided’ Umno, says analyst - superadmin - 10-12-2021 PETALING JAYA: The political crisis in Melaka has highlighted the disconnect between Umno leaders and grassroot members over cooperation with its rivals, Bersatu, PKR and DAP, says an analyst. Council of Professors fellow Jeniri Amir said Umno’s grassroots had already made it clear at the party’s general assembly that they did not want Umno to work with the other three. “Umno is confused and divided. The leaders appear to be more concerned about power and their own interests rather than what the grassroots want,” said Jeniri. Jeniri said the Umno Supreme Council must be firm in realising the grassroots’ wishes or it will affect the party and its leadership’s credibility, as Umno’s power base lay in its three-million strong members. - More -
