Not the initial time

However, notwithstanding stirring up one hornets' nest after another, Umno has seen Malay await plunge as good as leaders leave the fold. Najib's own recognition has fallen to 58% from 61% previously based upon the poll conducted in September.
"It serves Umno right. This shows Malays have been no longer so ridiculous as to be led by their noses by spin-masters. The urban Malays will get even some-more troubled with interjection to this pa! rt where as for the farming Malays, it won't increase their await for Umno either. Those in the Malay heartland have been already possibly staunch PAS or Umno voters. They won't be swayed so easily. But the urban Malays will be serve driven away to PKR as good as PAS," pronounced PKR MP for Batu Tian Chua.
