KOTA KINABALU: While politicians argue about the relative popularity of Umno and its spinoff PPBM in Sabah, a political scientist points out that Umno has had a long affiliation with the state, but PPBM was considered to be only a political infant.
“Umno has been through many political challenges since its entry and has grown tremendously but went into decline due to actions of its own leaders,” he told FMT. “This has opened room for younger leaders to come to the fore and directly shed the image of Umno being headed by old leaders.” Awang Azman said Umno has grown after its loss of power in the 2018 general election, and many from PPBM were expected to return to Umno because the party has stronger grassroot support.
