Political scientist Chandra Muzaffar said it was clear that there were a number of factions in Umno with different views, though all seemed to be “fixated on power and dominance”.

“This should be the top agenda. But if you look at Umno today, it doesn’t look like anyone wants to do any soul-searching or rectify shortcomings. They continue to support leaders who have questionable track records and jostle for power.”
