Transcript
00:00 Mohideen Yassin's initial decision not to defend the Bersatu presidency, followed by
00:07 his subsequent reversal, was a strategic move aimed at gauging support from party members,
00:13 analysts said.
00:15 Azmi Hassan of Akademi News Andhara said the unanimous vote by the party leaders for Mohideen
00:20 to stay on suggests that the former prime minister has substantial support.
00:26 While Mohideen previously seemed to have the backing of delegates, the support from top
00:31 party leaders had been uncertain, he said.
00:35 James Chin of the University of Tasmania said Mohideen's u-turn could be in response to
00:40 the level of support he received, or due to fear the party might split if he stepped down.
00:46 However, Owee Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs said this episode
00:52 was typical of seasoned politicians using such tactics to test the waters.
00:58 Despite speculation that his earlier announcement was a gimmick, Mohideen insisted that it was
01:03 a genuine decision.
