Nazri dismisses Pribumi threat and Mahathir's leadership

KUALA LUMPUR: Umno supreme council member Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz is not threatened by the emergence of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Pribumi), saying that the year-old splinter party lacks charismatic leaders.

In an exclusive interview, Nazri pointed out that rural Malay voters have traditionally voted for a Malay-based party, which has largely consisted of just Umno or PAS.
