Following a victory at the Nenggiri by-election and a “return to form” reminiscent of its pre-pandemic influence, the UMNO general assembly at the World Trade Centre has shown renewed vitality that had been absent in recent years. However, this revival also brings back the familiar grandstanding and political posturing, with UMNO continuing to appeal to its conservative Malay base. At the same time, the party's “reformist” elements persist, signaling ongoing efforts to adapt in the face of a shifting political landscape. Join Haffisz and Adi on Kopitiam Council as they delve into key moments from the UMNO general assembly, examining whether the party is still relevant in today’s political environment and assessing its prospects on capitalizing its victory in Nenggiri and perhaps begin a recovery after its less than stellar performance over the years.
