Malaysia unity government strains as Umno-PH ties hit low, snap poll pressure builds

Relations between Malaysia's ruling PH coalition and Umno have deteriorated to their worst since the 2022 unity pact, with both sides trading barbs amid pressure for early elections. The impasse follows state polls that weakened PH, raising uncertainty over government stability and policy continuity. The situation is fluid, with the potential for a snap poll or realignment before term ends.
