Ramasamy: “Can UMNO be reinvented to regain Malay voters’ favour?”

[superadmin]

PENANG Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy has asked the question on many people’s minds: whether UMNO can reinvent itself in the near future and regain its past glory.

More importantly, the Perai assemblyman wondered if there was a future for the party that was once thought to be irreplaceable, and if Pakatan Harapan (PH) can count on the Barisan Nasional (BN) linchpin to deliver the much-needed support from Malay voters.

“No one could have imagined that UMNO would go down so fast and so dramatically. Until the onset of the 15th general election (GE15) in Nov 2022, UMNO was the main contender for political power,” Ramasamy pointed out.

“There was a sense on both sides of the political divide that BN [through UMNO] was unstoppable, having captured state power in Melaka and Johor a few months before GE15 in the state polls.”
