Tenang: Wanita Umno wants woman candidate

LABIS: Wanita Umno wants the Barisan Nasional leadership to consider a woman candidate for the Tenang state by-election in Johor on Jan 30.
Its head Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil said Monday that she had proposed Labis Wanita Umno leader Haslinda Salleh as candidate.
"We have submitted the name of Haslinda Salleh as candidate, but we leave it to Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak (the Prime Minister and Barisan chairman) to decide," she told reporters at Kampung Sawah Baru here Monday.
Shahrizat, who is the Women, Family and Community Development Minister, said that women leaders should not be marginalised in the selection of candidates because they, like their male counterparts, had a fine record of service.
The by-election follows the death of Barisan assemblyman Datuk Sulaiman Taha of diabetes-related blood infection. Nomination day is Jan 22.
Shahrizat said that BN leaders should remember that women voters make up almost half the voters when deciding on the candidate for the by-election.
PAS, which has confirmed that it will contest the by-election, is reported to be seriously considering fielding a woman candidate. - Bernama
