File 32 : My one cent thought...

Wanita UMNO is busy arguing over whether Shahrizat should contest the party election next year or follow the transition plan planned earlier.

I think they should not argue on this small matter. It's better for Shahrizat to contest for the Ketua Wanita post. Rafidah had been in that position too long. She should just resign from the post. After all, the transition for the top post i.e the President will be done on March. Wanita should follow lead.

If Rafidah is to retain the position and hand it over to Shahrizat on June, for three years there will be no deputy for Wanita and Rafidah will be the acting Ketua Wanita with limited power. But how if Rafidah is to retain the position and she does not want to hand it over to Shahrizat?

Power is something that humans always want. They thirst for power. Once they are in power, they will think that it is theirs till death.

In short, Rafidah should forget her plan to contest as Ketua Wanita UMNO. It's time for the next generation to lead. Other major parties had handed over powers to the new generation of leaders.

But Wanita UMNO?
