00:00Amno must shed its racist image and abandon its aggressive demeanour
00:05if it wants to return as a partner in the unity government
00:08after the next general election.
00:11Political analysts also said the party must appeal to a Malay electorate
00:15that is more sophisticated and regain the support of those in the heartland.
00:19Zayed Arabi Idid of the International Islamic University Malaysia
00:23said it is essential for Amno to adopt a more inclusive strategy.
00:27He said its tactic of boycotting and attacking the DAP and its MPs
00:31no longer works, even with Malay voters.
00:34Zayed was responding to Amno President Ahmad Zayed Hamidi
00:37who said last week that the party's cooperation with the unity government
00:41will last until the next general election.
00:44Zayed Arabi advised Amno to focus on issues that matter to today's Malay electorate
00:49such as the rising cost of living, economic uncertainty and anti-corruption reforms.
00:54Meanwhile, analyst Jayom Jawan said Zayed's corruption charges
00:58and the lack of major reforms under his leadership
01:00have weakened Amno's credibility with Malay voters.
