Wanita Umno ready to work with Harapan Women for state polls

 

Wanita Umno is always prepared to work with the Pakatan Harapan women's wing to face the coming state elections.

Wanita Umno vice-chief Norliza Abdul Rahim said the movement is prepared to go to the grassroots with the Harapan Women machinery to win votes and provide information about the unity government in the six affected states.

“Wanita Umno members will work together under the unity government. It may be a bit awkward initially, but we will be able to over time.

"The PKR Women leader has also contacted me and we had several meetings. We will go to the grassroots together... there is no problem for us to work together in the state elections in Kedah, Penang, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Kelantan and Terengganu,” she told reporters after the ‘Seindah Syawal’ programme in Bukit Gelugor today.

At the event, Norliza presented Hari Raya donations of RM200 each to more than 60 orphans and asnaf (eligible tithe recipients).

The Bukit Gelugor Wanita Umno division leader hoped that women will be given more opportunities to be candidates in the state elections.
