00:00The internal turmoil and external challenges faced by Bersatu today have been years in
00:06the making.
00:08This is what Shahzad Shukri of International Islamic University Malaysia had to say as
00:13Bersatu's struggles intensified with growing internal divisions and vocal dissatisfaction
00:19from its branches.
00:21She said the party has suffered from limited grassroots support at the outset and a lack
00:25of clear ideological direction.
00:29Shahzad also said Bersatu's dependence on party president Muhyiddin Yassin would not
00:34work as it did for PKR.
00:38She suggested a fresh do-over for Bersatu but wondered what the party could offer now
00:43that its image of being clean is compromised by Muhyiddin's court cases.
00:48Asmi Hassan from Academy Nusantara offered a more optimistic view, saying that Bersatu
00:54is still vital as it is indispensable to PN's continued success.
00:59While its allied past controls more state governments, Asmi argued that it is Bersatu's
01:04political maneuvering that has kept the coalition relevant.
