“We haven’t even change, but we dream of becoming the government. We must self-reflect and look in the mirror. Many of our mistakes was not because our rivals were strong but because of the party’s weakness. The Damansara Youth chief pointed out that Umno prefers those who are academically successful, but leaders come from all walks of life and by having such a preference, it has alienated the leaders from rural communities and those who are not as educated.
“Voters from Damansara are different from those in Jerai. Those in Jerai are different from the ones in Sungai Buloh. Engaging the diverse demographics and psychographics is critical. If we fail to engage with them, these youths will not know us and their votes will be in the pocket of our opponents,” said Amin to a thunderous applause from the delegates,” he added.
