SANDAKAN: Unmo Youth members must be brave in facing current political development, said Umno supreme council member Datuk Bung Moktar Radin.
He said they needed to focus on enhancing self-worthiness, in terms of communication and technological information, as political development were greatly influenced by the social media.
“Umno Youth must be courageous and proactive in facing negative elements in the social media that harp on issues that can bring about racial and religious disharmony,” he said when officiating at the Kinabatangan Umno Youth meeting here yesterday.
Bung Moktar, who is also Kinabatangan MP, said there was also a need for Umno and Barisan Nasional to face allegations and defamation by irresponsible individuals, especially from the opposition. He said it could not only be addressed through the social media but also by engaging with the grassroots so that they would not be influenced by negative elements. — Bernama
