UMNO Youth will hold a special convention on January 3 to gather grassroots views on whether the party should continue its cooperation with Pakatan Harapan (PH).

Its chief, Dr Muhamed Akmal Saleh, said the convention — titled “Hala Tuju Umno, Sama Ada Kekal Atau Keluar Dari Kerajaan” (“Umno’s Direction: Stay or Leave the Government”) — will take place at 3pm at Dewan Tun Ismail, World Trade Centre (WTC) Kuala Lumpur.

He said members who wished to voice their views, particularly those who care about Umno, were encouraged to attend so that all opinions could be considered before being conveyed to the party’s top leadership.

“Malay voters who care about Umno’s struggle, come in large numbers (to the convention).”

Meanwhile, a Supreme Council member Jalaludin Alias said Pemuda can go ahead with the convention on January 3 but whatever resolutions must be brought to the attention of the Council.

“They can make suggestions but it is still the Supreme Council who will decide,” he said.
