Tok Mat seen as making push for open-mindedness in Umno - superadmin - 03-18-2022 PETALING JAYA: An analyst has described Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan’s speech at the party’s general assembly as “very surprising” for its call for moderation, diversity and the need to ensure non-Malay support for Umno. Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara told FMT he saw it as a brave address aimed at pushing Umno’s grassroots towards open-mindedness. He said it was also a message to the party’s potential partners. “Come GE15, Umno wants to form the government and it needs all the help it can get from non-Malay voters,” he said. “But first of all, the grassroots need to be open to this. It will be interesting to see how the three party wings debate this.” - More -
