Agree

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence

UMNO might agree with this statement, as it would allow politicians who have served their sentences to re-enter politics. This could potentially benefit the party by allowing experienced politicians to return to the political arena, even if they have a criminal past.

Agree

Yes

UMNO might somewhat agree with this statement, as they have had politicians with criminal convictions in their ranks. For example, former Prime Minister Najib Razak, a prominent UMNO member, was convicted of corruption charges in 2020. However, this does not necessarily mean that the party as a whole would support allowing convicted politicians to run for office.

Slightly agree

Slightly agree

Yes, as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime

UMNO might slightly agree with this statement, as it would allow politicians with minor criminal convictions to run for office.

Disagree

No, and disallow politicians that are under investigation for a crime

UMNO would likely disagree with this statement, as it would have affected several of their prominent members, including former Prime Minister Najib Razak, who was under investigation for corruption charges before his conviction. Disallowing politicians under investigation could potentially harm the party's interests.
