Kekalahan wakil rakyat Bersatu pada pemilihan Machang dan Hulu Selangor baru-baru ini mungkin memberi isyarat 'keras' akar umbi mahukan pemimpin 'lokal' atau tempatan mewakili mereka, kata penganalisis.
00:00The defeat of UN representatives Wan Ahmad Faisal, Wan Ahmad Kamal and Muhammad Haris Abdullah Sani in the recent election of Macang and Huluselangor may give strong conditions for UMBI to want a local leader or a place to represent them, said analysts.
00:20Taufiq Yacob from the University of Malaya said Bersatu needs to learn more from his friend PAS and his enemy UMNO on how to respect local sentiments in the issue of party election and candidate for election.
00:36It is said that it is strange to see a party leader who is also a member of parliament like Wan Ahmad Faisal passed away for the position of chairman.
00:44Meanwhile, fellow parliamentarian Azmi Hassan said the defeat of Wan Ahmad Faisal and Muhammad clearly shows that it is not easy for a representative of the people who has the privilege of being president to stand in an area.
00:59Azmi said the scenario described as a jungle gave a slap to the leader so as not to alienate the voice of UMBI roots who want a candidate from the regional leader.
