NSTpolitic: “MN is the best way forward at restoring MCA to its pre-GE14 command of seven parliamentary and 11 state states, if the current sentiment towards Pakatan Harapan endures or worsens.
Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Associate Professor Dr Jeniri Amir said Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and his deputy, Datuk Seri Mohamad Hassan, should go out on a limb and court MCA and its president, Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong, personally, if MN was to be formed and reap any success.
Jeniri said there was fear that factionalism and hardline politics would rear its head through the collusion of the Malay grassroots and Islamist parties under Muafakat Nasional. Analysts said this was a clear sign as to why the parties were rejected by Malaysians and that race-based politics did not work, especially among non-Malays.They must speak with one voice instead of some parties saying that it is yet to be formalised, while others are going about making other remarks, he said.
“They are too slow in this respect, so much so that they have no ammunition to attack Pakatan Harapan in the long run and tend to fall back on their old tricks such as race and religion.He also said Umno’s warlord culture which was misconstrued in their culture of walak or loyalty to its leaders was also a major hindrance to its rejuvenation.
