Federal Territories Youth chief Razlan Rafii wants UMNO to stay exclusive for Malays only. UMNO Youth Chief Khairy Jamaluddin is apparently in favour of opening it up to other races.
The big question is not whether UMNO should stay race-based or multi-racial but WHO CARES?
Does it matter if UMNO stays race-based? There are plenty of Malay-dominated parties in Pakatan for those who are still race-inclined to join. And for those who prefer multi-racial parties, most of the Pakatan parties (except one, actually) are at least nominally multi-racial.
Whatever is one's leaning -- race-based or multi-racial -- there is a better option available in the form of Pakatan rather than anything UMNO or BN could offer.
So let them debate whether to open up UMNO to other races. Nobody cares. Nobody wants to join.
