Zahid adamant to stay as president! I really don't know why he thinks majority malays will support him! With ruin reputation, he is a mega liability for Umno!
It doesn't take a genius to figure how Umno will fare come GE15! Umno will lose alot of seats! PKR predicted to gain from Umno!

@MichaelKwok only BN can manage the economy? Dont make me laugh! Go ask Penangites and Selangorians. You still think it was like 30 years ago, where people can be easily fooled by you? Perhaps maybe during that time you are able to cover up 1MDB and LCS ..

Umno is losing relevance! LIke any sacred institution that has been too corrupted, it's members turn away!
Only the older generation continue to vote for Umno! As for BN, it has long been forgoten! Nobody will vote for MCA or MIC! Gerakan already kaput years ago! Sabah Sarawak no longer associate themselves with BN!

Perhaps PM Sabri wants to leave a legacy for himself! Hence we see many reforms under him! Good for him! Let's support him till the end! Because after that, he will be politically checkmated!

Malaysia is a developing country not only in its economy, it also has a relatively dysfunctional political and governance system. Unfortunately BN/UMNO thrives in such semi-dysfunctional system. As they say, corruption is inefficient, but it "greases the wheels". It is used to bypass unreasonable bureaucratic rules, and everyone benefits, so why change this dysfunctional system.

In order to be better the country needs to pivot towards better governance. Reform political system to reflect voter's interest. Strengthen rule-based judiciary system. Streamline rules and laws to be more efficient, in other words be more like our Singaporean neighbour. We can do better than Singapore by strengthening our press freedom. These are difficult reforms that is going to receive lots of opposition from certain special interest group, but it will be good for our country in the long run.

Unfortunately, we can't even get pass the first barrier: racial politics. So the suggestions I've just posted is just an idealistic pipe-dream, lol!

So despite the political infighting we hear about, BN/UMNO can still thrive in a semi-dysfunctional system. They're expert lah.

The people of Malaysia must be plain stoo pid if they elect UMNO back into power.
The nation's regression in economy, communal division, religious extremism, plundering of nation's wealth by thieves in power, numerous scandals, double standards and erosion of judicial system is attributed to BN and mainly UMNO.

Bangmiskin! There is no BN already! Only Umno! The BN thingy is expired brand among non malays! Even during GE14, Umno lost many seats, BN wipeout!

So bassically it's impossible for Umno to return to the old days! Because they have alienated non malays with 'tuan melayu' agenda! Why bother to vote for BN if it means downgrading non malays to be stools!

Even those few MCA lawmakers won because of malay voters! And unfortunately next GE, Umno will not get malay voters to help and support them as they used to!
Most of the younger malay generation have no attachment or love for Umno!
