KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 (Bernama) -- The Umno Veterans Council, formerly known as the Umno Veterans Club, has proposed that PAS merges back with Umno to ensure a better future for the Malays and Muslims in the country.
Umno Veterans information head Datuk Dr Dzulkarnain Abdul Rahman made the proposal at a press conference after the Umno Veterans meeting at the Putra World Trade Centre, here today.
"Today, we think that PAS can merge with Umno for the sake of the Malays and Muslims like we had pushed for during the pre-independence era. PAS was also a part of Umno previously.
"All the successes we had achieved previously was made possible because the Malays were united. It is our aspiration that the Malays remain united so that we are stronger," he said.
Meanwhile, Umno Veterans deputy chairman Datuk Mohd Zaid Sirat proposed that the Umno Veterans Council be recognised by the party constitution like any other Umno wing.
"We now have about 800,000 members. And we have served for so long.
"We want greater recognition and we also wish to suggest to party president and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak that there are observers from the veterans group at every Umno level, from the Supreme Council, state and divisional levels," Zaid said.
He also congratulated Najib on behalf of all members of Umno Veterans and pledged their support to the party president and Prime Minister.
On the Penanti by-election, the Umno Veterans voiced full support for any decision by the Prime Minister.
