Johor Umno to organise Malay convention in June

 

Johor Umno will organise a Malay convention in June to seek views and direction from the Malay grassroots community in the state.

State party chief Onn Hafiz Ghazi said this was among the key initiatives discussed during the state party committee meeting today.

“Johor Umno’s agenda is to continuously garner support from the grassroots and the Malay community in Johor.

“The convention will involve all Malay NGOs and is expected to be held in early June,” he told reporters today after chairing the meeting for the first time since being appointed to the post in December.

Onn (above), who is also Simpang Renggam Umno division chief, said sessions with party divisions throughout the state will also be held to ensure grassroots leaders understand the party's aspirations to ensure Johor remains a stronghold for Umno and BN.

Present at the meeting were Umno vice-president Mohamed Khaled Nordin and Johor Umno deputy chairperson Ahmad Maslan.

Onn thanked Khaled, whom he replaced as state party chairperson, for his services during his two-year tenure.
