One leader says DAP has given Umno more ‘face’ than Malay voters and held only a few Cabinet posts although it had a large number of parliamentary seats.
DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook was a guest at the Umno general assembly in June, the first time a DAP leader had been at the convention.
“At the last general election , it was proven that Umno was rejected by the Malays, although the party wasn’t working with DAP then,” he told FMT. He acknowledged that there were grassroot members, especially in the rural areas, who were uncomfortable with Umno’s alliance with DAP, reflected in Umno’s defeats in rural seats.
The suggestion had come from Umno Supreme Council member Isham Jalil who said the party should contest future elections on its own, a move which would help win back supporters who had rejected Umno’s current alliance with DAP. There were a lot of decisions made by the top leadership that were pushing voters away, the source said.
DAP has only four ministers in Anwar Ibrahim’s cabinet, which comprises 28 ministers and 27 deputy ministers.
