We need a strong Opposition


All eyes on them: (Front row, from left) Dr Ahmad Zahid, Najib and Hishammuddin at the Dewan Rakyat. Seated behind Hishammuddin is Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin.

WITH the announcement that almost all of Umno Sabah’s elected representatives and heads of division are leaving the party and declaring themselves supportive of the Pakatan Harapan government, the disintegration of the once mighty Umno seems to be accelerating and it may even be facing its political demise. 

Many who support the ruling Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition may be rejoicing, as they see PH’s rule strengthened further, ensuring political stability and increasing the possibility of it securing a two-third majority in Parlia-ment, enabling it to amend the Federal Constitution to bring about much needed structural institutional reforms.
