Malaysia’s oldest political party UMNO has wrapped up its annual general assembly, with the next general election now firmly in its sights. After two consecutive state election victories, the party is projecting renewed confidence, stepping up calls for early polls and pushing for a bigger role in shaping the country’s political direction. It is a shift from the party's earlier emphasis on political stability and its commitment to the unity government. CNA Senior Correspondent Afifah Ariffin reports from Kuala Lumpur.
