Analysts say it will be challenging for Malay parties to set aside their competing interests. FMTNews AsyrafWajdiDusuki

Umno Youth chief Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki recently urged political parties to put aside their differences and focus on a “national reconciliation agenda”.

Speaking to FMT, Bridget Welsh of the University of Nottingham said the challenge in reconciliation, particularly between Umno and PPBM, lay in concessions rather than respect. “If you look at what Umno is saying about setting new conditions, it is not looking for reconciliation,” Welsh said. “What it wants is for PPBM to concede in seats, positions and power. It doesn’t want PPBM to challenge it as it did in Sabah.”She said this had put Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin in a tough position with not much room in which to manoeuvre.
