Soap Opera Nasional: Umno, PAS, and MCA
Umno’s desires, PAS’s wrath and MCA’s rage all add up to a primetime drama.
Umno, PAS, and MCA have become entangled in a fierce political rivalry, reminiscent of a soap opera. Their recent actions have left the Barisan Nasional (BN) household in disarray, with Umno's infatuation with PAS leading to MCA being left out in the cold. Wee Ka Siong, MCA president, led a dramatic walkout in protest over the distribution of seats in the upcoming Melaka state election.
Umno is now cozying up to PAS while ignoring other PN members, claiming they only want PAS. This leaves other parties, such as Gerakan, Pejuang, MIPP, and Wawasan, feeling neglected and questioning their future in the coalition. As the election approaches, the BN leadership faces a difficult decision: should they abandon their multi-ethnic coalition for the sake of partnering with PAS?
