PM WANTS UMNO LEADERS TO MAKE PREPARATIONS TO FACE GENERAL ELECTION
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 (Bernama) -- United Malays National Organisation (Umno)
president Najib Razak has emphasised on Umno leaders at all levels to make
thorough preparations to face the next general election so that Umno could
continue to lead the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) government.
Southern state of Melaka Chief Minister Mohd Ali Rustam said this clear message
was conveyed by Najib to the delegates and Umno Supreme Council members at the
closed-door briefing by the Umno president in conjunction with the Umno General
Assembly 2010 at the Putra World Trade Centre, here Tuesday.
"The president stressed that we must continue to be united, strengthen
solidarity to champion the cause of the peoeple and to work effectively to face
the next general election in a situation where Umno is continuing to become
stronger," he told reporters.
Mohd Ali said the Prime Minister wanted Umno to strengthen the
constituencies won by the BN in the last general election and to work hard to
recapture the areas that it had lost.
Southern state of Negeri Sembilan Umno information chief Isa Abdul Samad said
the Prime Minister hoped that squabbles between the leaders would be resolved
immediately so that Umno would become strong and respected by the people.
Meanwhile, Supreme Council member Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi said the president had
stressed on the importance of struggling to improve the lot of the Malays
inclusively, but at the same time, not ignoring the interests of the other
races.
"Besides the four things outlined by the president, namely the leadership at the
national, party, state levels as well as the elected representatives, he also
urged Umno members to use the 'wisdom' approach on the people in order to remain
relevant.
Puteri (Young Women) Umno head Rosnah Rashid Shirlin said the president placed
strong emphasis on the transformation process which all party members had gone
through or would face in the future.
"Everyone will be involved as a whole in the New Political Model process that he
(Najib) had been emphasising of late," she said.
However, Rosnah who is also the Deputy Health Minister and Member of Parliament for Papar, said the the members were now actually undergoing the process because Najib had already started it since he took over the helm as Prime Minister.
