A Close Contest Likely for Top UMNO Posts.

The election to the policy-making Supreme Council of United Malay National Organization (UMNO) on June 21 are expected to be closely contested.

For example, it is understood that at least 15 nominations have been received for the three vice-president posts.

UMNO Youth national leader Dato Haji Harun Idris might also join in the fight if it is in the national interest, he said.

UMNO secretary-general Datuk Senu Abdul Rahman has issued a directive to all UMNO divisions advising members to refrain from making speeches or remarks which might affect party unity and image in the current election campaign.

Information and Special Functions Minister Tengku Ahmad Rithaudeen advised UMNO members not to alarmed by any war of nerves among its leaders. He said there were always differences among leaders, but such rational conflicts always resulted with improvement of the party.
