Azalina calls on Umno to boost digital capabilities ahead of GE16

Umno must recognise the need to strengthen its digital capabilities to counter slander and disseminate facts through social media and smartphones, particularly in preparation for the upcoming general election.

Its information chief Azalina Othman Said said that with these capabilities, Umno must rise to close the gap in public perception regarding the party’s image.

“In addition, I also reminded (party members) that the coalition government or coalition government model is one that has been used by Umno since the days of the Alliance, and subsequently with the establishment of BN.

“Therefore, our position in the government is not a foreign model. Even though Umno is not the leading party, it remains a stabilising factor,” she said on Facebook after officiating the Temerloh Umno division delegates’ meeting yesterday.

In the Madani government, BN continues to stand firm in defending the fundamentals of the Federal Constitution, namely Islam as the religion of the Federation, the position of the Malay rulers, Malay as the national language, and the special rights of the Malays and bumiputera, he added.

“Alhamdulillah, after nearly three years of the Madani government’s administration, there has never been a moment when our partners in the coalition have questioned these matters, which is also the main reason this government remains stable.”
