Umno stuck and not making headway, says Chin Tong

PETALING JAYA: DAP strategist Liew Chin Tong believes Umno is stuck and has not made political headway since Parliament was dissolved earlier this month, with infighting and voters’ fear of Ahmad Zahid Hamidi becoming prime minister among the reasons.

He said voters may have been put off by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s decision to dissolve Parliament despite the possibility of monsoon floods.

Other reasons for Umno’s failure to make headway were the perception of Umno as a source of instability and the party’s lack of funds for the election campaign.

Liew said voters did not appreciate Umno’s push for the elections, out of their own interests, despite the warnings of possible floods.
