UMNO Amendment To Constitution Today

Kuala Lumpur, Thu -- A total of 2,539 Umno delegates gathered
at the Dewan Merdeka in the Putra World Trade Centre here today for the party's
annual general assembly, which will determine its direction in future.

Their main focus will be the address by party president Datuk Seri Najib Tun
Abdul Razak, who is also Prime Minister, and proposed amendments to the party's
constitution, which are part of Najib's efforts to transform Umno.

The proposed amendments are due to be debated at a special assembly sitting
that will be convened after the opening of the general assembly and involves
seven motions, including one to increase the voting base to elect leaders to the
division level whereby 146,500 members will be eligible to vote as compared to
only 2,510 people now.

Before opening the assembly, Najib attended the flag raising ceremony and
inspected a guard-of-honour mounted by Umno three wings - Wanita, Pemuda and
Puteri Umno - at Plaza Merdeka. - Bernama
