Strength of UMNO NY NJ:

-UMNO NY NJ is a professional club, which has no political influences, that is able to unite all five universities in achieving one goal. These five club branches may be separated by hundreds of miles; however, for the sake of Allah, we contributed our time and money to achieve main objective to benefit Malaysian society in United States. Throughout the whole programs, the club brought us closer; and, by the end of the day, the achievement is vividly beyond our expectations.

Weaknesses and how to improve:

-For the past one year of observation, I, with due all respect, found out that this club, along with its effort to benefit Malaysian society, lacks of management skills. Even though improving management skills seems relatively less significant than improving character of Malaysians, I still think this is an essential step to tackle things as a whole - macro- and microly. We are aware of the importance of manners especially when meeting with dignitaries, so, I would like to suggest a program that can improve our communication/interaction skill. The other thing I want to touch is time management skill. Our punctuality in certain events seems lacking, and this should be set right to make sure that no complication occurs in the future.
