MOU with Pakatan holds no value for Umno


PETALING JAYA: Given the outcome of the previous three state elections, Umno is more confident than ever about winning big in the next general election (GE), says Prof James Chin, from the Asia Institute at the University of Tasmania, Australia.

“It is highly likely they (Umno) want the GE to be held the soonest from July, so that they can regain power,” he said in response to Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan’s statement on Thursday about the party not renewing the memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Pakatan Harapan (PH) when it ends on July 31.
