“it was unceremoniously booted from power seven years ago”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia confirms that the 2018 Malaysian general election took place on May 9, 2018, and that the government was dissolved by Najib Razak (UMNO). Given the current context of the unity government (formed 2022/2023), the timeline of being removed from power approximately seven years ago aligns with the 2018 defeat.
