(Bernama) – Umno needs to undergo change to ensure that the party can rise again to become the strongest political party in the country.

Its secretary-general, Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said change is required to regain the confidence and trust of the people, especially the Malays, to the party.

“Change should be carried out not only at the top leadership, but also at grassroots levels for the party to appeal to the people,” he said commenting on the opening speech of Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak at the Johor Umno Convention here, today.

Earlier, Najib who is the Prime Minister said change should start with Umno leaders in the party’s core group to demonstrate conviction for Umno’s struggle.

Najib also quoted Johor Umno Liaison Committee chairman Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin who said that Johor Umno was aware of the reality check signalled by the people through their support and wanted the rise of Umno to start from its birth place, Johor.

Tengku Adnan also agreed with the president who said the party’s rise towards determining Umno’s survival should start in Johor.

On the process of attracting more members from the younger generation to the party, Tengku Adnan said it was an on-going process to seek talent and new ideas from the younger generation as future leaders.
