UMNO grassroots leaders fear Pakatan Harapan (PH) will be the biggest winner if the tussle between Barisan Nasional’s (BN) two biggest partners over who should contest the Tanjong Malim parliamentary seat in Perak, remain unresolved when the general election is called.

Umno wants to contest the seat after MCA failed to win it for BN in the 2018 general election. Local Umno leaders said MCA’s continued interest in contesting the seat is causing problems for the coalition.
