00:00The concept of uniting Malay political parties is only relevant if both UMNO and PAS are on board.

00:08Former UMNO Information Chief Sheryl Hamdan said this, adding that efforts to unite Malay political parties would be futile if only one party is interested.

00:18In 2019, UMNO and PAS formed Wafakat Nasional to unite the Malay-Muslim vote.

00:45But it fell apart when PAS chose to work with Bersatu, which UMNO saw as a betrayal.

00:51Last week, PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang said the party wanted UMNO to rejoin MN, as long as UMNO's President Ahmad Zayed Hamidi was not involved.

01:01On Bersatu, Sheryl said the party's biggest failure is its reliance on protest votes from UMNO supporters.

01:08The protest vote was very strong at the time, and UMNO supporters continued to vote.

01:14But they didn't evolve.

01:16In terms of leadership, rhetoric, and narrative, they failed.
