Umno should not depend on other political parties to ensure its survival, according to Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan. Speaking on the party's strategic direction, Hasan stressed that Umno must consolidate its own power base and capabilities if it wishes to secure a stable political future.
Hasan's remarks come as Malaysian politics continues to be characterized by shifting coalitions and partnerships. The statement suggests Umno should reduce its reliance on potential allies such as Pakatan Harapan, Perikatan Nasional, PAS, and DAP.
The Umno leader emphasized that the party's long-term interests would be better served by building internal strength and broad-based support among voters, rather than becoming dependent on coalition arrangements with other political entities.
Hasan's call reflects ongoing discussions within Umno about the party's positioning in the complex Malaysian political landscape, where coalition-building has become increasingly important for securing parliamentary majorities and government formation.
