00:00 UMNO will lose its relevance to Malay voters if it continues being seen as chummy with

00:07 BKK, according to several UMNO grassroots.

00:11 Instead, the leaders said the party should treat PH as it did Perikatan Nasional during

00:17 the administrations of Muydin Yasin and Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

00:21 A youth leader said it was fine for UMNO to work with PH on a federal level, but the party

00:26 should not go to the extent of attending their conventions or work together in elections.

00:32 The leader also said the association with DAP was especially damaging considering everything

00:37 UMNO had said about the party for decades.

00:41 A Johor division leader said that although PH had won the Pulai and Simpang Jerambai

00:45 elections, UMNO's grassroots members were not eager to campaign for PH candidates.

00:52 The leader also said a division leader's job is to persuade voters about UMNO's merits,

00:57 but when party president Ahmad Zayed Hamidi chose to campaign for PH, it worsened the

01:02 situation.

01:03 The leader said UMNO needed to think of a long-term plan to regain support, and that

01:07 the best way to do this was to be in the opposition.
