Umno decided in December of last year to postpone its 2021 General Assembly, which was scheduled for January 13-15.

The postponement was made owing to the flood calamity that had hit several locations, prompting grassroots umno leaders to offer assistance to flood victims.

The Supreme Council also pledged support for Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob as Prime Minister, Ahmad added, adding that this support will be enhanced.

“In addition, the Umno Supreme Council agreed to make all necessary measures to guarantee that the party caters to 18-year-old and new voters.”

He added that the assembly also became a platform for them to express gratitude to all Umno members and leaders at all levels who volunteered to assist the flood victims.
