Wanita Umno chief Shahrizat Abdul Jalil has hinted that she is ready to contest in the 14th general election (GE14).
However, Shahrizat, who is also Wanita BN chief, said the decision was up to the party leadership.
"Politicians must be prepared for everything... it is up to the chairperson (Najib Abdul Razak),” she told reporters after handing over Wanita BN contributions to the residents of Selangor King George V Silver Jubilee Elderly Home in Kuala Lumpur today.
She said this when asked to comment on her willingness to make a comeback in the coming general election.
Meanwhile, commenting on rumours that she would contest in the Sungai Besar parliamentary constituency, Shahrizat said: “I am hearing various rumours. Thank you for saying I will be contesting here and there, in politics it is nice to know people want us. But it all depends on my boss (Najib).”
Meanwhile, Shahrizat said Wanita BN had submitted the wing's GE14 manifesto to the prime minister for consideration.
Among the items contained in the manifesto was the construction of integrated care centres in every constituency under the 12th Malaysia Plan if the BN was still given the mandate after GE14.
"This is because today most of the elderly care centres only focus on senior citizens but there is no interaction, making them lonely in their old age.
"This needs to be changed, where these care centres need to be integrated with children's care centres and community activity centres so that there will be communication at various levels,” she said.
Meanwhile, Shahrizat handed over essential items and cash contribution in conjunction with Chinese New Year to the 125 residents of the care centre.
Wanita BN also donated RM10,000 to the care centre that has been operating for 73 years.
