Umno leader urges Malays to give TOTAL SUPPORT to party

KUALA LUMPUR, -- The Malays cannot depend on PAS and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) to champion their cause, an Umno divisional leader said Wednesday.

Datuk Syed Ali Alhabshee, head of the Cheras Umno Division, said the Malays should give their total support to Umno.

"No Malay political party other than Umno has achieved an excellent record in administering the country based on the Federal Constitution," he told Bernama.

Syed Ali said that in the complex political environment of today, Umno required a bold shift to erase the negative perception some people had of the party, the principal partner in the Barisan Nasional (BN).

"Umno should change its approach and methodology in keeping with the shift in thinking of young people who are getting more critical. This must be done because the young will determine the course of the country in the future," he said.
