Former Umno supreme council member Isham Jalil sees Umno’s apparent willingness to give former members a second chance to join the party as a sign of desperation.

Contrary to the claims many Umno members who had been sacked since the last general election are looking for a way back into the party, Isham said many current Umno members would be unwilling to even vote for the party in an election, let alone those who have been terminated.
