Umno using Akmal to play two-pronged game in socks issue, says academic

PETALING JAYA: Umno may be playing a two-pronged game by asking its firebrand Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh to let the “Allah” socks issue die, says academic Tajuddin Rasdi.

He said that despite public requests to quell the brouhaha, the party appeared to be basking in its newfound popularity among the Malays.

“I suspect Umno is playing a two-pronged game. It is supportive of the unity government, with leaders in defence of every government policy.

“However, Umno saw how effective Akmal and the KK Mart issue have been in drawing many Malays to its side. Umno is actually enjoying this popularity, which it had lost to Perikatan Nasional,” he told FMT.
