AUGUST, 28 — In an article published bytitled “On the Horns of Anwar’s Twin Dilemmas,” former Umno leader Khairy Jamaluddin stated that the 15th state election held on August 12 witnessed Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional competing to win Malay-Muslim votes, leading Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to face two dilemmas.
Furthermore, the Opposition, through the Deputy President of PAS, Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, rejected any political reconciliation with the Pakatan Harapan government. This means that Khairy’s solution was outright rejected by PN. This sentiment of discontent was previously employed by the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia when it brought down the PH government in 2020. However, Bersatu failed to win any seats in by-elections, despite purported cooperation with the Democratic Action Party . Eventually, Bersatu lost in the Melaka and Johor state elections to Umno-BN in 2021 and 2022. Now, the Youth Chief of Umno, Dr.
First, the performance of “New” Umno and BN under Dr Mahathir’s leadership in the 1990 general election declined due to the rejection by Umno’s grassroots, leading to the formation of Semangat 46 under the leadership of Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah due to the Team A and Team B leadership crisis in 1988. The alliance of PAS and Semangat 46 through Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah resulted in Umno-BN suffering a heavy defeat in Terengganu, Kedah, and Kelantan.
Both PRU 1990 and 1999 showed that the Malay Belt states were critical of the federal government and would continually shift based on political waves. Kedah is considered a swing state, having changed hands between four different governments since the “Political Tsunami” of the 2008 general election: Pakatan Rakyat, BN , PH , and PN .
These events showed that Umno-BN had experienced bitter times but managed to rise by emphasizing its national identity as a party for all Malaysians, both in terms of economics and politics. The combination of nationalism and moderation was able to pave a significant path to victory for BN, including PH.
