While the former Malaysian Prime Minister has been out of power, he has support of the cadres
Some of Mahathir''s allegations of economic mismanagement have resonated with the Malaysian public as inflation rises. Besides, Badawi''s public campaign against corruption has not shown any dramatic successes. His promise to fight corruption has shown few results. Although he has been out of power for six years, Mahathir is believed to control as much as half the party at the division levels. Speculation is rife that he would form a new ethnic political party. Taking members of Parliament out of UMNO, the lead party in the ruling national coalition, would cut its 140-82 seat majority by an as-yet undetermined number. This could well spell the end of the coalition, which has ruled Malaysia for five decades.
Much of the antipathy within UMNO is directed against Prime Minister Badawi’s son-in-law, Kairy Jamiluddin, who it is believed has too much influence over Badawi. Kairy is seen as a de facto power, interfering in the day-to-day running of the country''s administration. Others say he is obsessed with placing too many of his own people in positions of power. Political stability is important for Malaysia because it remains one of few Muslim majority countries where al-Qaeda has been unable to spread its ideology of hatred. However, analysts now worry that prolonged political instability and citizen anger against the Badawi regime could just open the door for Islamic fundamentalists to spread wings.
