She suggested for Umno’s Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin to form a multiracial party of his own. However, the party will lose big in the elections for it does not have support in the rural areas.
This is the same problem faced by multiracial parties like DAP and PKR, and they have been in politics longer. The urban areas are already controlled by DAP and PKR.
