00:00 The government is at risk of losing more political support if UMNO does not change,
00:08 said political analyst Ahmad Fauzi Hamid from the University of Science, Malaysia.
00:14 He said Ahmad Zahid Hamidi must resign as president and deputy prime minister
00:20 so that he is freed from court proceedings or UMNO will continue to be unimportant in state politics.
00:28 Fauzi said PH will lose more support from Malays to the opposition by sacrificing their coalition government partners.
00:37 It will further weaken Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's influence on the basic decision.
00:43 Azmi Hassan from the Nusantara Academy said the election decision basically maintains the status quo
00:50 and this is important because the PM cannot claim that they won the state election or the people are not satisfied with the government of the government.
01:00 However, he said UMNO's poor performance shows a big problem
01:04 and more Malay voters are turning a blind eye to the party, causing PH to be in a very difficult position.
