Onn Jaafar re-visited

Johor umno youth has send a suggestion to state administration on re-visiting Onn Jaafar's idea to accept the non-malays as a members. Onn Jaafar the founder and first president of umno suggested to open up the membership in 1950's but then the committee rejected the idea and he decided to resign from the post and party. He then started up the new party known as Parti Negara a multiracial party but couldnt survive due to the thickness of racial sentiments. Umno do accept the non-malays in Sabah if they have a bumiputera status but then refuse to accept the non-malays in peninsular Malaysia. After the 12th GE, as part of re-vitalise the party and to gain back the support from non-malays, Johor umno youth are trying to re-visit the Onn Jaafar's idea. The suggestion to re-visit Onn Jaafar's idea shows umno desperate to win the votes and heart of non-malays.
