Kuala Lumpur, Fri -- The Umno General Assembly here resumed
today with seven state representatives taking the stage to debate on a motion of
thanks on the presidential policy speech.

Speakers from the Penang, Selangor, Melaka, Johor, Federal
Territories, Kelantan and Kedah Umno liaison committees will take to the stage today.

The general assembly will adjourn for the Friday prayer before it resumes in
the afternoon for the winding-up speeches by the leaders.

The general assembly is historic as it made way for a special general
assembly which had unanimously approved seven amendments to the party's
constitution.

Among others, it changed the rules of election for party posts by making it
more open and abolishing the nomination quota system to stamp out money
politics.

A total of 2,539 delegates are taking part in the general assembly. - Bernama
