In May 2018, the once mighty coalition, BARISAN NASIONAL suffered a spectacular fall from grace as a result of widespread public anger over a corruption scandal involving the then Prime Minister, Najib Razak.

With the next Malaysian General Election just around the corner, can Najib's increasing popularity bring about a resounding victory for UMNO and Barisan Nasional? Or will the scandal tainted former Prime Minister cast a dark shadow over the party's political future?
