A lot of things are happening:
Umno looks hopelessly split into a few camps. Will the momentum they had picked up after winning state elections in Malacca, Johor and Sarawak gradually evaporate with the price hikes that are hurting the people? Despite the keluarga Malaysia rhetoric, the Barisan Nasional parties show little inclination in taking a more inclusive approach. The price hikes and their impact on the lower-income group will be the BN’s Achilles’ heel.
