00:00Former PQR Deputy President Rafizi Rumley today suggested that the Negri Simulan crisis will not bode well for UMNO,
00:08which retracted support for Muntri Basar Aminuddin Harun on Monday.
00:13Rafizi said UMNO's decision to withdraw its support would remind the public and fence-sitters why the party lost badly
00:20in the last general election,
00:22where UMNO secured only 26 of the 119 seats it contested in the 15th general election.
00:29Rafizi said while UMNO had its reasons to do so, such as strengthening the party,
00:34its actions would be viewed differently, depending on the narrative, especially on social media.
00:41The Pandan MP and former economy minister said in a post on eggs that this was the unintended consequence that
00:48UMNO did not take into account,
00:50adding that it would be difficult to get fence-sitters to re-evaluate their stance once a narrative was set.
00:56All 14 Barisan National UMNO Assemblymen retracted support for Aminuddin on Monday,
01:02citing a loss of confidence in the Muntri Basar from PQR.
01:06Negri Simulan UMNO Chief Jalaluddin Alia said their decision was linked to the ongoing crisis involving the four undangs
01:13seeking to remove the Yangdi Pertuan Basar of Negri Simulan from his position.
