Umno

UMNO (United Malays National Organisation) is a major political party in Malaysia that primarily advocates for the interests of the Malay majority. Founded in 1946, it has played a central role in Malaysia's independence and governance, often forming the backbone of the ruling coalition. UMNO focuses on issues like social harmony, economic development, and Malay rights, while working within Malaysia's multi-ethnic political landscape. Over the years, it has evolved from a nationalist movement to a professional political organization, but remains influential in shaping Malaysia's policies and national identity.
