COMMENT | The disgraced prime minister knows this, continuing to play dumb like the spoiled rich kid that he is.

| The weakness of the Perikatan Nasional government-without-a-people’s-mandate has given birth to a lot of rumours surrounding its future. Even scandal-ridden Najib Abdul Razak’s name is being propped up again as an alternative to Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s leadership, or the lack of it.

In the 2018 general election, they brought their anger back to the kampung to vote against Najib and BN that they saw as drifting away from the people, especially with the 1MDB mega scandal.Umno used to represent social mobility for the Malays but now it is seen as an elitist party. At least until the 1990s, social mobility was the key message of the party for the community.

Since independence, Umno had never contested under its own logo. It was always the symbol of the Alliance and later BN, until the by-elections after 2018. After Mahathir’s retirement, Umno took a wrong turn by turning right politically in 2005. In the last 15 years, it is hard to imagine non-Malays voting for a highly racialised Umno. In competitive Malay-majority mixed seats, having non-Malay support is very crucial.Umno had very strong organisations, especially in rural and semi-urban areas for the longest of time.

Umno’s organisational strength on the ground is not organic and not as effective as an election campaign machinery.Umno’s previous success factor includes being the incumbent government in an authoritarian setting. It was relying on the largess of the government to campaign in elections. It was also able to redraw boundaries in its favours and use the media to its advantages.It is no longer the ruling party under the current Muhyiddin government.

It is a great missed opportunity for Umno to allow people like Mohamad Hassan and Khairy Jamaluddin to rise and cleanse the party of corrupt leaders. All they had to do is apologise to the nation for its past sins and plead for a fresh start. With the new blood and recasting of its messaging, Umno had a chance to win back the people’s support in a free and fair general election.

Perhaps DSN just toying around in social media all the time. Without having any power in any political party in the world But PH still thinking n perhaps want him to have power in at least a Persatuan in the world. Maybe dulu PH lost without pride Seriously PH at it weirdest!

🤣🤣🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮👎🏽👎🏽🖕🏼

Alamak... can it be?

Rosmah got more power than this KEPITman

His future is in the jail. Just a matter of time. This is consistently constant on his ongoing criminal cases of 1MDB & SRC.

If this happens, meaning those grassroots are tatally ignorant of facts about NAJIS, or they are all blinded by the stash of Ringgit to buy them over.

Only fool makes mistake twice

He's the present. A present thief.

Yes because that’s how sumpah laknat works

Anybody want another taste?

UMNO future is bleak, Jib just don't think too much.

What a stupid question to begin with.

UMNO = Najib

Oh my days! Really? Soalan lawak ke apa ni?

Najib is actually a decaying log. He will soon face his karma. Muhyiddin will fix that.

Not sure, but he is a potential poster boy of klepto-kakisto-cracy.

Yes please.... yes please.

..... Why not?

Huhu.. Future of the junk food

Mabuk ke?🍻 he is a curse of Malaysia !

If najis d future of dumno. Then it's also d end of dumno. Najis will not only bring the downfall fall of dumno but d malays as well.

Can Najib stop trying to make himself relevant again? You've done enough.

Obviously . With super rings in tow. How much did they pay for his endorsement?

why have to go backwards eh instead of moving forward....

As far as NajibRazak is concerned, Umno is Najib Razak and Najib Razak is Umno. That's why Najib Razak did not jump parties although fake brig-jen khairykj and his gang rejected Najib Razak as Umno president. Is Najib the future of Umno? What else can be the future of Umno?

Anything got to do with shit, he is the supreme commdander

Ever seen flying bacons? Nuff said.

He is the future of malaysia. Future of the world. All macai clap for your bosskuuuuu future in sg buloh!

Perhaps not Najib. It’s Rosmah. 😂😂😂

He's a liability instead of an asset. 🙂

Cukup-cukuplah awaaa..

It's way too insane. If this actually happen in future, I guess fellow Malaysian should take care their money, UMNO gonna wipe it all

He's the future of Sungai Buloh

Plausible as he's Cash-is-King Cash-is-King undisputably!
