BN now open to direct membership

Barisan Nasional is now open to direct membership from individuals and association, said Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak.

The Prime Minister who is also the Barisan chairman said individuals could join the coalition as associate members while associations including the NGOs would be accepted as affiliate members.

However, the rights and roles of such members would be debated and decided at Barisan’s convention next week, he said Saturday after the coalition’s supreme council meeting.

The decision to allow direct membership, he said was to provide a platform for those who were not interested in being members of any of the coalition’s 13 component parties but subscribed to Barisan’s spirit and concept.

Najib said the direct membership would take effect once Barisan headquarters notified the Registrar of Society of the amendment to its constitution.

PS: I really do not understand all this.. if you could explain to me for my better understanding, I will really appreciate.
