The younger generation, especially students who are critical to the government, are being used as political tools by the opposition, said Umno Overseas Club.

“We students are presented with news and stories that are incomplete, edited and manipulated by certain parties.

"But we should not be quick to insult and make assumptions when we do not know the processes that happen in the government,” said Russian Umno Overseas Club member Nur Farhana Mohd Anuar.

In a report by Umno Online , Nur Farhana added that Umno is now more inclusive of local and overseas students.  

“There are a lot of programmes organised by Umno to give a platform for students. This enables us to directly query on what is happening and gain more information, to our benefit.”

She added that students should be actively involved in Umno activities like the annual general assembly last week, to know for themselves how the country is run.

“All this while, they perceive administration as something easy. But when they go through it themselves, that’s when they know what is actually happening and will not be so quick to criticise the government,” Nur Farhana asserted.
