Zahid calls for 'Grand Collaboration' as Umno opens assembly
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi used his policy speech at the 2026 Umno General Assembly to call for a 'Grand Collaboration' between existing coalitions rather than a merger of parties. He said cooperation must be free of deception and insults, and that Malays are weary of continued confrontation among themselves. The assembly is being held at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur.
