| Wanita Umno chief Rafidah Aziz today announced that she would step down from the movement in the middle of next year. She said that her deputy Shahrizat Abdul Jalil will then take over the top post and urged her members to give the latter their full support. She also urged the women delegates to allow herself and Shahrizat to continue leading the wing by not nominating any other candidates for the top two posts in this year's party polls. Meanwhile Shahrizat said that she was a party traditionalist and would abide by Rafidah's advice on the matter. |
Rafidah said this in her speech in a special Wanita Umno meeting at the Putra World Trade Centre this morning.

She's not stupid like the sleepy one. Must give her credit - that she knows her time is up. Must have gotten feedback from the ground.
This is a face-saving exit for the iron lady. A truce has been made that no-one challenges her for the top wanita post.
Maybe it would be good if she hand over the position earlier to Shahrizat. It would be beneficial for the stability and the unity of the members in the party.
Jikalau Rafidah menang besar...dan UMNO mempertahankan 2/3 majoriti,dia akan duduk itu kerusi sampai mati.
Sepatut nya kalau nak di-lihat lebih berwibawa...silakanlah letak jawatan.Apa pulak nya nak tunggu sampai JUN tahun depan? tak puas2 ke? eh...i tak tuduh apa2 ya...jadi Rafidah tak payahlah bawak Qur'an untuk sumpah2.
Tahniah kepada Rafidah yang sanggup melepaskan jawatan dan membuat peralihan kuasa dengan baik sekali kapada Sharizat. Mungkin beliau sedar bahawa Sharizat adalah calon yang paling sesuai untuk menjadi peneraju seterusnya.
Kak Ton,
Wanita UMNO tak relevan lagi. Rafidah sedar perkara ini pasal itu dia minta hingga Jun depan untuk meninggalkan jawatan ketua Wanita dengan cara terhormat. Kalau ada pertandingan Rafidah tahu dia akan kalah teruk dan sudah tentu malu besar. Mengumumkan untuk serah jawatan pada Jun depan, dengan penuh harapan tidak ada pertandingan maka dengan cara beginidia keluar secara terhormat.
Ahli UMNO 1969
You have overstayed your welcome.
Please leave us alone to deal with the sorry state of this country that you and your party have left us.
We wish you a happy retirement.
