Senate president Rais Yatim is a "born-again nationalist" who should ask Umno to change its name to a Malay one, said Tebing Tinggi assemblyperson Abdul Aziz Bari.

Aziz said that Rais should ask Umno to use "Persatuan Kebangsaan Melayu Bersatu" instead since he feels so strongly about using Malay names.

This came after Rais took a swipe at local authorities for choosing English names over Malay ones for various locations...
