The resignation of Melaka chief minister Sulaiman Ali and his replacement by Ab Rauf Yusoh is a manifestation of a power struggle between Umno factions, says an academic.

Referring to the resignation of chief minister Sulaiman Ali and his replacement by Ab Rauf Yusoh, Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid of Universiti Sains Malaysia said it was a manifestation of a power struggle between Umno factions.Sulaiman is the assemblyman for Lendu. He said the public would now perceive any talk by Umno about political stability as aimed only at attracting support.Political analyst Oh Ei Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs said the affair was an example of a familiar situation in Umno, with warlords taking advantage of a power struggle among the higher-ups to boost their own political fortunes.

These leaders would, however, first need to establish a local power base, he said. “Otherwise, you will have no base and you’ll be easily defeated or become expendable.”
