KUALA LUMPUR, May 11 (Bernama) -- A red wave of cheering Umno members
reverberated the Bukit Jalil National Stadium as the party celebrated its 66th
anniversary tonight.
The red wave built up since mid-day before the crowd swelled to some 100,000
by the time Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his wife, Datin Seri
Rosmah Mansor arrived at the stadium.
Najib, who is also the prime minister, and Rosmah were brought into the
capacity packed stadium by a buggy.
They were accompanied by Umno deputy president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and
party secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.
The occasion was graced by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and
his wife, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali.
Umno members were ferried to the stadium by about 2,800 buses from around
the country.
