Umno’s future direction, unity govt ties among key issues at upcoming general assembly, says Asyraf Wajdi

The upcoming Umno General Assembly will address key issues, including the party's direction and its political cooperation within the unity government.

Secretary-general Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki highlighted that alongside the Rumah Bangsa agenda, these topics are the most discussed among the 157 divisions.

Delegates are encouraged to openly debate these themes for a thorough discussion on the party's future.

The assembly is expected to draw over 50,000 attendees, emphasizing its significance as a platform for shaping Umno's policies and direction.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3 — Umno’s direction and its political cooperation within the unity government are expected to be among the key issues debated at the party’s upcoming general assembly, with motions received from all 157 divisions.

Umno secretary-general Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said political cooperation, particularly within the framework of the unity government, and the Rumah Bangsa agenda proposed at the previous Umno General Assembly were the two most popular issues raised by the divisions.

“The main motions include the issue of Umno’s direction and political cooperation, particularly within the framework of the unity government, as well as the Rumah Bangsa agenda proposed at the previous Umno General Assembly.

“These are the two most popular issues raised by the divisions,” he told reporters at a special press conference ahead of the Umno General Assembly at Menara Dato Onn here today.

Asyraf said the party would not restrict delegates from debating any issue, including topics that had generated discussion on social media.

“We will never restrict delegates from debating whatever they wish. Looking at the sentiments on social media, these are indeed among the hot topics.

“But I do not want to pre-empt the Umno General Assembly. We are open to any debate by the delegates,” he said.

He said the assembly should serve as a platform for delegates, including those from Umno’s three wings — Wanita, Pemuda and Puteri — to discuss the party’s future direction openly and thoroughly.

“Most importantly, we should make the most of this Umno General Assembly, including the assemblies of the wings, to discuss openly and thoroughly the direction of the party towards a better future for the people and the country,” he said.

On the party’s direction, Asyraf said the matter encompassed various important aspects of Umno’s struggle and should be left to delegates to debate at the assembly.

He said the Umno General Assembly remained the party’s highest platform to determine its policies and direction.

“If the Umno General Assembly decides on anything, the leadership must accept and follow it,” he said.

Asyraf also said 6,401 delegates would attend this year’s Umno General Assembly.

He expects more than 50,000 people to attend the four-day event at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) from Sept 9 to 12.

“We expect a large turnout at PWTC this time. I expect more than 50,000 people to attend over the four days, as we have received a very large number of requests and applications to attend over the past two months,” he said.

即将召开的巫统大会将讨论一些关键问题，包括该党的未来发展方向及其在联合政府中的政治合作。

秘书长 Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki 强调，与 Rumah Bangsa 议程一样，这些话题是 157 个部门中讨论最多的话题。

鼓励代表们公开辩论这些议题，以便对党的未来进行深入讨论。

预计将有超过 5 万名与会者参加此次大会，凸显了其作为塑造巫统政策和方向的平台的重要性。

吉隆坡，9月3日讯——巫统的未来走向及其在联合政府内的政治合作预计将成为该党即将召开的全体大会上辩论的关键议题之一，所有157个区部都已提交了相关动议。

巫统秘书长拿督阿斯拉夫·瓦吉迪·杜苏基表示，政治合作，尤其是在团结政府框架内的政治合作，以及在上届巫统大会上提出的“民族之家”议程，是各派系提出的两个最受欢迎的问题。

“主要议题包括巫统的方向和政治合作问题，尤其是在团结政府的框架内，以及在上届巫统大会上提出的‘民族之家’议程。

“这是各派系提出的最热门的两个问题，”他在今天于此地达托翁大厦举行的巫统大会特别新闻发布会上告诉记者。

阿什拉夫表示，该党不会限制代表们就任何问题进行辩论，包括在社交媒体上引发讨论的话题。

“我们绝不会限制代表们就任何他们想讨论的话题进行辩论。从社交媒体上的舆论来看，这些确实是热门话题。”

“但我不想抢在巫统大会之前妄下断言。我们欢迎代表们进行任何形式的辩论，”他说。

他表示，大会应该成为一个平台，让包括巫统三个派别——妇女组、青年组和女青年团——的代表们公开、彻底地讨论该党的未来方向。

他说：“最重要的是，我们应该充分利用这次巫统大会，包括各支部的大会，公开、彻底地讨论党的未来发展方向，为人民和国家创造更美好的未来。”

阿什拉夫表示，根据党的指示，此事涉及巫统斗争的各个重要方面，应该留给代表们在大会上进行辩论。

他表示，巫统大会仍然是该党决定政策和方向的最高平台。

他说：“如果巫统大会做出任何决定，领导层必须接受并遵守。”

阿什拉夫还表示，今年将有 6401 名代表出席巫统大会。

他预计9月9日至12日在太子世界贸易中心（PWTC）举行的为期四天的活动将吸引超过5万人参加。

“我们预计这次PWTC会吸引大量观众。我预计四天内将有超过5万人参加，因为在过去的两个月里，我们收到了大量的参会请求和申请，”他说。
