00:00Analysts say UMNO and other Malay parties in the government must actively counter the
00:05racial narrative pushed by the opposition over the recent cabinet reshuffle.
00:10International Islamic University Malaysia's Shahzah Shukri said the issue should not be
00:15allowed to drag on, as it could create the perception that UMNO is also dissatisfied,
00:20adding that the matter should be discussed constructively to focus on the real needs
00:24of Malays in Kuala Lumpur.
00:27University Malayah's Awang Azman Pawi agreed, warning that UMNO's silence could allow
00:31Pricata Nacional to politicize the matter and erode Malay support.
00:36PAS and opposition leader Hamza Zainuddin criticized the appointment of DAP's Hannah Yeo, Parti
00:42Persatut Sabah's Loh Sukhwe and Stephen Sim, claiming they could sideline Bumiputra interests,
00:47while UMNO Secretary-General Ashraf Wajididusuki said such sentiments should not be taken lightly.
00:53Meanwhile, Academy News Antara's Azmi Hassan said concerns were unfounded as major policies
00:59are decided collectively by the cabinet.
