AdilanClub: Why Umno Baru is losing to PAS and PKR

AdilanClub:Breaking news, is the best for news

UMNO had an upper hand over PAS before February 1988 but today UMNO Baru is losing to PAS and PKR. Leaders in UMNO Baru have failed UMNO irretrievably. A failing UMNO Baru now is causing the resurgence of PAS and PKR. The tendency now is for the Malays to support PAS and PKR more than UMNO Baru. And contingently there is a significant number of Malays supporting DAP as well, leaving Barisan Nasional trailing in the race for the 13th general election.

There is a “contingent factor” here that has affected the opinions of Malays on PAS. They are just seeking a clean government when they see UMNO Baru smirched with all sorts of baggage – from abuse of power, denial syndromes to corruption.

PAS or Umno losing support over Mat Sabu's remarks

KUALA LUMPUR - The heat is starting to become a bit too hot to handle for PAS after nearly two weeks of fire started by a remark by deputy president Mohamad Sabu, in which he allegedly made a hero out of a man who led the Bukit Kepong massacre, 61 years ago.

The remark put PAS in a position of having to defend Mohamad in the face of a wave of protests not just among the public but also veterans of the security forces and family members of those who were killed in the February 1950 incident.

This is not to mention a barrage of police reports -- over 500 and counting -- lodged against the controversial politician, known by his moniker Mat Sabu.
