KUALA LUMPUR - Beset by a year of growing fissures, Malaysia's biggest political party, Umno, faces a reckoning at this weekend's annual general assembly, a meeting that will have ramifications for the country's political future.
Twice delayed since December due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the gathering is likely to see party president Zahid Hamidi's faction push forward a resolution to formally break ties with Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia.
