Shahrizat: Get ready for ‘war’ during polls
Embattled Wanita Umno chief Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil has described the coming general election as a “war” in which the wing can expect a fierce fight.
For this reason, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak must be regarded as the commander-in-chief and Wanita members should be solidly behind him, she told some 300 Ampang Wanita Umno members during a programme to strengthen the election machinery.
“Like Malay warriors, we must fight whether or not there is Mak Lampir (a ghostly character in Indonesian movies),” she said yesterday, referring to her PKR counterpart Zuraida Kamaruddin, who had asked her to resign over the National Feedlot Corporation controversy.
Shahrizat, who is also Women, Family and Community Development Minister, said those who tried to undermine her were also insulting Wanita Umno and Malaysian women as she represented them.
Shahrizat, who lamented what she described as a “trying time for her as a woman, wife and mother”, added that the RM250mil her husband received for the NFC project was a loan which he had to pay back.
Ampang Wanita Barisan Nasional chief Dr Rozaidah Taib said it was apt that Shahrizat had chosen to visit the division as Zuraida is the MP for the area.
“She has been making many distressing appearances as Mak Lampir,” said Dr Rozaidah.
