00:00UMNO cannot abandon the use of race and religion in its politics if it wants to have the backing

00:08of the Malays.

00:10This is what political analysts Azmi Hassan and James Chin had to say, adding that UMNO

00:16would struggle to compete against PAS and BERSADU without using race and religion to

00:20gather support.

00:22Previously, UMNO Vice President Khaled Nordin said using race and religion to gain the support

00:27of certain groups was an outdated political strategy.

00:31Instead, he said the party should focus on elevating the knowledge, skills and competitiveness

00:36of the Malay community.

00:39Azmi said the Malay mindset was such that the community would vote for those it could

00:43depend on to protect their interests.

00:46Chin said if UMNO gave up using race and religion in politics, the party would have nothing

00:51to fight for.

00:53He said this is because the two topics are the driving force of politics in Malaysia

00:58and therefore could never become outdated.
