We need to revive the ‘old Umno’ from ‘coma’, says Ku Li - superadmin - 09-28-2021 PETALING JAYA: The best way to restore the original spirit of Umno is to revive the “old Umno”, which is still in a “coma”, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said. He added that the “old Umno”, which was banned by the Registrar of Societies (RoS) in 1988 during Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s first tenure as prime minister, could not have been deregistered as the RoS had no authority to do so. “The ‘old Umno’ which represented three million powerful members in the country since its independence, did not commit any offence that would have caused it to be banned,” he said in an interview titled “Umno is in a coma” with Malaysia Gazette last night. The Gua Musang MP, who is also known as Ku Li, also took a swipe at the party leadership, saying their behaviour is one of the reasons for the need to revive the “old Umno”. “The current behaviour of the Umno leadership is not liked by many quarters including our members. Therefore, this step should be taken as there is no other option to strengthen the party. - More -
