KUALA LUMPUR – This 2011 UMNO General Assembly is very special when it received the presence of a special person, Harun Datuk Awang, the only UMNO founder who is still alive today.
Harun, 87, who is also the grandson to the founding party eminent founder, Datuk Onn Jaafar, was present at the assembly and also celebrated by the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
To appreciate Harun’s struggle and all of UMNO founders, Najib and also the party’s key leadership took memorable pictures with a giant photo background that features the UMNO founder group that was captured at the Istana Besar Johor, May 11 1946.
When asked about his struggle and expectation of the Malay generations, Harun emphasized that the Malay race must unite in all matters and not disagree between one another.
“I only want to see the Malays race unite, do not disunite!,” he said firmly despite looking weak and a little ill.
Harun was also present at the third Malay congress conference which brought to the establishment and formation of the biggest Malay party that took place at the Istana Besar Johor on May 11 1946.
According to records, he is the only individual present at the meeting who is still alive since all who were involved in forming UMNO on that sacred day had passed away. -mynewshub.my
