Johor polls: Srikandi has submitted names of 15 women for consideration as candidates, says Rina Harun

PETALING JAYA: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia Srikandi (women's wing) wants 30% of Perikatan Nasional candidates at the coming Johor state election to be women, says its chief Datuk Seri Rina Harun.

The Women, Family and Community Development Minister said she had already submitted 15 names from Srikandi to party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin for consideration as candidates.

"This is part of Srikandi's demand for at least 30% of the candidates from Bersatu, and Perikatan Nasional, to be women," she said.

Rina was speaking after distributing RM 100 each to 25 residents of the Chen Ai Welfare Centre Association in Kelana Jaya Sunday (Jan 30) in conjunction with Chinese New Year celebrations.
