KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 31 — Umno’s plan to use Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s imprisonment to rally support for the general election could deal a severe blow to the appeal of Barisan Nasional allies MCA and MIC, analysts have predicted.
During the Johor state election in March, MCA won four seats while MIC took three as part of BN’s dominant performance that saw it secure a supermajority victory. However, he said such a notion will be unpopular among MCA and MIC’s supporters and pointed out that neither BN component has come out to openly defend Najib.
He explained that Umno’s decision to keep denying the scandal — even with Najib’s imprisonment — will present MCA and MIC with greater trust deficits to overcome when trying to communicate with their respective voting communities.
