KUALA LUMPUR – Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is confident that the Umno Institute will become an important entity to gather thinkers and bring forth ideas and views to ensure the party’s continued relevance.

Zahid, who is also the party’s president, said that the establishment of the institute is aimed at intellectually strengthening the party and boosting members’ knowledge regarding the philosophy and history that underpin the party’s struggle.

“Discussions with the National Council of Professors deputy president, Prof Emeritus Kamaruddin M Said were held to look at the progress of Umno Institute,” he posted on Facebook.

Media outlets reported in January that Zahid announced Kamaruddin would head the institute, while Prof Datuk Abdul Mua’ti @ Zambri Ahmad would be his deputy. – Bernama, June 17, 2023
