The former information chief of Puteri Umno, Mastina Abdul Hamid today submitted a letter to the party secretary-general to seek clarification on the age limit for contenders for the wing's top post.

Mastina, who has expressed her intention to contest for the number one post of the young women's movement in its inaugural contest on Nov 1, said she was referring to article 4.1 of Puteri Umno's constitution which states the age limit for members as from 18 to 35 years old.

"I would like to seek clarification from the supreme council on whether someone whose age has passed the limit, and should therefore no longer qualify to be a Puteri (Umno) member, can contest for the number one post," she told malaysiakini after submitting a three-page letter to secretary-general Khalil Yaakob's office this morning.
