00:07arguing BN was already in disarray before the last general election.

00:12Azrul Hadi Abdullah Sani from strategic advisory firm ADA Southeast Asia said,

00:18UMNO's shift towards right-wing Malay-centric politics alienated non-Malay supporters, especially MCA and MIC.

00:26The recent tension was sparked when MCA Secretary-General Chong Xin-Wun called for the party to chart its own course,

00:33citing grassroots frustration with BN's lack of direction.

00:37In response, Johor UMNO youth's Noor Azlin Ambrose called this view short-sighted,

00:42while Johor MCA youth's Heng Ji-Li accused PH of dismantling BN from within.

00:48However, International Islamic University Malaysia's Shaza Shubi said,

00:53MCA fears becoming irrelevant as Chinese voters now prefer DAP,

00:57claiming that DAP and PKR are making room for BN to keep the government stable.

01:02Both analysts agreed that UMNO remains a strong force due to its strong grassroots support,

01:08with Azrul saying MCA and MIC are steadily losing relevance and must confront some pressing existential questions.
