malaysiakini on How WANITA UMNO Can Lead the MEN

In Malaysia the women are leading the way in how society can be reformed.
Already we are quite advanced in the way women have made better use of educational opportunities and I guess girls now outnumber boys in tertiary institutions by a ratio of about 65/35 or maybe even 70/30.
Maybe that is why even in the UMNO elections, the women can teach the men a thing or two about electing leaders.
According to this malaysiakini article Battle royale to be Wanita chief the Deputy Chief now has enough votes to contest for the top post but the incumbent prefers the post to be uncontested so that she can hand power to her Deputy when she retires in March like the UMNO President.
As Shahrizat lost her seat in the general elections, it is important for her to win the UMNO elections to be a strong leader lest her detractors claim in future that she was not duly elected to the top post.
Let's hope Wanita UMNO can show the big boys how leadership contests can be properly contested. After all, Rafidah did mention she would not have stood for the March elections if the PM had told her she was not going to be in Cabinet - she should retire gracefully from the Wanita UMNO contest and instead encourage others to contest for the top post.
