Tuesday, 19 Jan 2021 05:13 AM MYTKUALA LUMPUR, Jan 19 — The simmering tensions between Umno and Bersatu may eventually lead to a clash in the 15th general elections between two of the biggest Malay-based parties presently in terms of parliamentary seats held, with the more established Umno seen as having the higher odds of winning, analysts have said.
While the recent nationwide Emergency declaration has suspended all elections, Shazwan said the status quo of a potential clash between the two parties remains, noting: “Emergency will just delay the inevitable — Umno vs Bersatu down the line.” Oh said a political landscape where both Umno and PAS collectively win a significant number of seats would possibly result in a government that is more supremacist, conservative and religious in its outlook. ― Picture courtesy of Oh Ei Sun
“Most of the Malay votes would go to either of the three parties, namely Umno, Bersatu and PAS. Mainly Umno and PAS, to a much lesser extent, Bersatu, unless as I’ve said, Muhyiddin does a very good job, thereby improving Bersatu’s prospects. I don’t see how the Opposition, namely the PH side, could make significant inroads in Malay-majority constituencies. So yeah, it is a question of who is taking the leading role in the next government among these three Malay parties,” he said.
Whether or not Umno or Bersatu wins in GE15 clashes, Oh said the country would still be steering towards a conservative pathway, with the only difference being a matter of how fast Malaysia goes down that route: “One way or the other, we are going into a more conservative direction. With Umno, it is already a very racially-supremacist party so of course it will just continue along that route.
“For now, Umno will be trying to destabilise the PN government because it feels that it has a greater mandate to lead due to its superior number of parliaments seats,” he said. But regardless of whether Umno and Bersatu clashes in GE15, Jayum said Malaysia’s political landscape has already changed as a result of GE14 “that has witnessed the need of coalition building to form a viable ruling government”, adding: “And this is a good thing so that the government formed is based on the need to take into consideration the various needs of the multi-ethnic elements in the country.
Kartini observed that Bersatu is a splinter party and a new party in the bloc with a small number of members.
UMNO just wants to be back in power, to free all their convicts and lanuns. I hope morally upright Malaysians can see this.
Umno
Young UMNO and BN will be stronger without walaunta and corrupt umno oldies.. Dare to fail young lads!
UMNO is only perceived stronger despite its long-ingrained corrupt culture as long as Bersatu collects immoral individuals at its helm.
Both practice Racial Politics
Even now they can’t take any firm decision and u still think they are strong party? 🤦🏼♀️
What a stupidity..Menang sorak kampong tergadai..Bodoh sombong tak habis..
Don't you know al-sultan al-firaun Muhyiddin Yassin has already declared political Emergency? Which means that there will be no more politics, politicians and elections in Malaysia. Welcome to the Banana Republic of al-sultan al-firaun Muhyiddin Yassin.
Either way, both still terrible parties
