Umno President Najib Abdul Razak said the main recipe for Umno to continue prospering is to ensure Umno members are loyal to Allah and the Prophet, as well as Ulul Amri who is their leader.

Najib, who is also the prime minister, said it is the loyalty that can be seen in Umno as the main characteristic of true Malays.

The Prime Minister also underlined a '6K' formula as the recipe to ensure Umno remained strong and relevant, namely Obedience (Ketaatan), Loyalty (Kesetiaan), Bravery (Keberanian), Unity (Kesetiakawan), Excellence (Kebijaksanaan) and Sincerity (Keikhlasan).

Najib said this after attending the Cheras Umno division's 20th anniversary celebrations at a leading hotel, in Kuala Lumpur last night.

Also present were his wife Rosmah Mansor, Umno vice-president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi ( left ), Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor and Cheras Umno division chairperson Syed Ali Alhabshee.

"Loyalty must not only be to the party but to the country as well, be brave to face the challenges, must have the ability to adopt to changes and follow the rapid changes in the social media and technology.

"We cannot just go into a battle without being prepared for the technical advancement. If there are people who are using the Facebook to challenge us, we must fight back using the Facebook. If they use online, we must also know how to fight back via online," he said.

Najib later launched a book titled 'Buku Minda Syed Ali' and a special bulletin to commemorate Cheras Umno's 20th year anniversary.
