development, Md Jais said this September, Johor Umno would gather its members with high educational qualifications to discuss the party’s direction in this modern era.

He said this effort was in line with Umno’s future plans in the next 10 years, in view of the need for Umno to be in tandem with young people’s thinking for it to remain relevant.

“We have 547 graduates in our Wanita, Youth and Puteri Umno wings who all this while have only been ordinary committee members in the party.

“They want to contribute more but have no opportunities, so we will gather them to discuss the party’s direction to keep up with the times,” he said. — Bernama
