Remarkable that the very disturbing announcement by none other than the Defence Minister himself below seemed to have been bypassed by Pakatan Rakyat and other right-thinking parties and NGO's.
Another Hamas in the making? This is sheer provocation. What if PKR, DAP & PAS Youth leaders also get commando style training? Civil war?
Umno Youth leaders to get military-style training
JASIN, Aug 9 — Umno’s training bureau will soon organise a course for Umno Youth division chiefs based on a commando-type training module, Umno vice-President Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.
Ahmad Zahid, who is the bureau’s chairman, said the course would enhance resilience and competitiveness among Umno Youth leaders.
“For them to win back the young voters, they need to be resilient and this can be achieve through the commando-style training,” he told reporters after opening the Jasin Umno delegates’ meeting at the Dewan Alamanda, here today.
He said the course would be carried out by the Umno Youth movement, National Civics Bureau (Biro Tatanegara) and the Malaysia Veteran Commandos Club.
“This was the kind of course we had when Datuk Seri Najib Razak was the youth chief.
“Camaraderie needs to be instilled in today’s youths; that is why (Umno Youth Chief) Khairy Jamaluddin and his executive council members have agreed to take part in the course, to be held soon,” he said.
The training bureau would also provide a course with a different module for Wanita and Puteri Umno leaders, he said. — Bernama
