A lot of matters were debated during UMNO General Assembly 2012 and various proposals are brought up for the consideration from the party’s top leadership.
Usually, a few of the motions or proposals debated will be applied in the Central Government in the near future or a while after further studies are made.
Despite that, all of these benefits from the assembly are diverted from the public eye as most of the focus often goes to political issues.
For that, we should go into the benefits which rakyat will get, an outcome from the assembly which was held a few days ago.
1. The loan limit of Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia (AIM) is raised from RM50,000.00 to RM100,000.00 to acknowledge women in the business arena.

16. Proposal to establish Franchise Club in Universities to help develop more entrepreneurs.
There were a lot of motions that were brought out during the assembly, and those motions showed how UMNO really care about rakyat.
It clearly shows how different it is to be compared to the opposition where they only focus on political issues without even thinking of rakyat’s issues which clearly needs close attention.
