KANGAR: Kangar Umno Youth wing views that the party is going backwards and becoming irrelevant in not allowing certain positions to be contested in the coming party election. Kangar Umno Youth chief Hamizan Hassan, who is also the Kayang state assemblyman, said the move clearly showed that Umno was controlled by certain individuals and was not fair to all members. “Before a party wishes to change a country, it (Umno) must first change itself to remain relevant in the eyes of the people before coming into power again. He also welcomed Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar’s proposal for all positions in the party to be contested. Khairy was reported rejecting suggestions that certain positions in the party should not be contested in the coming party elections.
