Dr M praises Umno's first woman Cabinet Minister

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad paid tribute to the country’s first woman Cabinet member, Tan Sri Fatimah Hashim, saying that her work in politics had opened “floodgates” and created new opportunities for Umno to gather support from Malaysian women. 

He said more books should be written about people who had fought for the country’s independence, adding that such books could become guidelines for future generations.
