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.
