Umno on the decline, not Malay politics, says analyst - superadmin - 03-17-2023 Quote:“What happened in the 15th general election was a transfer of power from one Malay leader to another Malay leader who upholds the principle of multiculturalism.” PETALING JAYA: A political analyst has rejected a Bersatu leader’s claim that Malay politics is on the decline, arguing that it is only Umno that has lost its dominance. Speaking to FMT, Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid of Universiti Sains Malaysia noted that Malays still held the vast majority of key positions in the government and most major political parties. He was commenting on Bersatu Youth chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Ahmad Kamal’s remark that Malay politics was in an “age of decline” because of a reduced Malay representation in Parliament and state assemblies and because of the “unholy alliance” of Umno and DAP, which he described as “the biggest treachery in the history of Malay politics”. - More - |
