Umno still has work cut out to win over Malay voters, say analysts


JOHOR BARU: Despite winning the Pelangai by-election, Umno still needs to work harder and prove to the Malays, in particular in Felda areas, that safeguarding their rights is the party's top priority, say analysts.

Dr Mazlan Ali said that Umno should not take it easy after its expected victory in the recently concluded Pelangai by-election as Perikatan Nasional had made inroads in Felda schemes there.
