IN all its years of existence, Umno has been a centrist party that has never been extreme, right wing or discriminatory, said its Youth chief, Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.

He said the party was also not racist, in so far as the term is defined in the Oxford dictionary. He said Umno had never practised racism, which was defined as discrimination or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.
