Umno ignoring public anger over payment of RM50mil fine, says Melaka DAP chief

Melaka DAP chief Khoo Poay Tiong expressed disappointment over Umno's decision to pay Najib Razak's RM50 million fine. Former Umno president Najib was granted house arrest after Umno paid the fine using donation money. Khoo, also the Kota Melaka MP, noted public dissatisfaction during his recent walkabouts. He questioned Umno's move, citing their loss in the 2018 general election due to the 1MDB scandal.

Khoo accused Umno of being arrogant and indifferent to public sentiment. He stated that despite the campaign, Umno paid the RM50 million fine, implying that Najib would remain in house arrest. The DAP chief believes PH's campaign is gaining traction, with the "mood picking up" in recent days. DAP relies on its 60-year presence in Melaka, a strong track record, and door-to-door campaigning to secure voter support.
