Wanita, Youth, Puteri UMNO General Assemblies Begin

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 (Bernama) -- The three wings of Umno -- Wanita, Youth and Puteri -- began their respective general assemblies this morning, with discussions centred on the amendment to party constitution which would be tabled at the party's special general assembly on Thursday.

The amendment is part of the effort by Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak to transform the party so that it will remain relevant to the Malays and Malaysians.

The assemblies started with speeches by movement heads -- Wanita Umno chief Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin and Puteri Umno chief Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin.

The Wanita and Youth each has 795 delegates while Puteri has 789.

The three general assemblies were simultaneously opened by Umno deputy president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin last night during which he outlined four principles, which he said, should be understood by party members in creating One Umno.

They are unity of mind, unity of heart, unity of deed and unity of objective.

The party's amendment would be fine-tuned further tonight by the Umno Supreme Council.

There are 2,539 delegates attending this year's assembly.
