00:01Muda's willingness to have some form of cooperation with PKR maverick Rafizi Brumley reflects the party's need for a big
00:09name to shore up support as elections loom, says an analyst.
00:14Ahmad Zaharuddin Sani, Ahmad Sabri of Global Asia Consulting, said the invitation extended by Muda Deputy President Zaidil Baharuddin to
00:23Rafizi could be construed as an honest admission of the party's major weakness,
00:28a lack of influential bigwigs.
00:31Zaharuddin said apart from lacking icons, Muda appears to lack a clear direction and fighting spirit.
00:39He told FMT it looks like Muda is trying to ride on Rafizi's coattails as he is a leader who
00:45is synonymous with political ideas and courage to go against the flow.
00:50During a recent podcast, Zaidil said Muda was open to working with Rafizi in some way, although both sides have
00:58yet to establish a formal relationship.
01:01He said that may include Rafizi contesting in the next general election on a Muda ticket or offering advice on
01:08the party's political strategy.
01:11Zaidil said Muda was willing to put aside past differences and apprehensions to learn from the former PKR Deputy President.
