Wanita Umno pledges support for Najib Razak Free Malaysia Today December 7, 2015 By FMT Reporters

The wing’s chief Shahrizat Abdul Jalil says their support for Najib as PM and Umno president is “solid.”

KUALA LUMPUR: Wanita Umno has pledged its solid support for Najib Razak as the country’s leader and their party’s president.

Making this pledge ahead of the party’s annual general assembly tomorrow was the wing’s chief Shahrizat Abdul Jalil who said, “For our motion on politics, I would like to state clearly that Wanita Umno will support the leadership of Datuk Seri Najib as Umno president and Prime Minister.”

Besides making an official declaration of their support during the wing’s assembly this Wednesday, they will also propose motions on education, religion and the economy, The Star Online reported Sharizat as saying yesterday after chairing the Wanita Umno political bureau meeting at the party headquarters here.

“We are solid in our support for Najib, and our support has never wavered,” she said.

She also was in support of the somewhat drastic decision this year for the party’s various wings to have their own chiefs declare their respective assemblies open as opposed to having the Umno deputy president officiate.

She said she had discussed the matter with the heads of the other wings i.e. Youth and Puteri and both Khairy Jamaluddin and Mas Ermieyati Samsudin were in agreement with the decision as well.

“We took into account and noted the political scenario that existed today. We feel that this is the best way, so let the heads of the wings be the ones to open their assemblies.”
