aPuteri Umno chief Rosnah Abd Rashid Shirlin dismissed talk of friction among leaders, particularly at division level as mere speculation to divide them.

"It is the work of irresponsible groups to disrupt the close ties between  Puteri Umno leaders," she told reporters after opening the Kulim Bandar Baharu Puteri Umno delegates meeting in Kulim yesterday.

The Health Deputy Minister said Puteri Umno leaders including those in Kedah did not have any problem and blamed such speculation to those with personal agenda.

She urged Puteri Umno leaders at division and state level to put party interest first and to prepare for the next general election.
