Umno Baru is not Tunkus Umno

In the controversy on Communist Party of Malaya's contribution to the nation's independence, I find it amusing to read Khairy Jamaluddin and Hishamuddin Hussein defending the legacy of Tunku Abdul Rahman and his Umno which was founded in 1946.
Do these two young opportunists realise that the Umno of which Tunku was a founder had been legally and politically dead in 1988 after the Kuala Lumpur High Court declared it illegal?
Do they know that the Tunku had never joined the Umno Baru formed by Dr Mahathir Mohamad only in 1988?
The Tunku and his Umno have nothing to do with the bogus Umno of Khairy Jamaluddin or Hishamuddin Hussein. Tunku's Umno and Mahathir's Umno are two fundamentally different entities.
