Going old school this International Women's Day, BN's Kajang by-election candidate Chew Mei Fun handed out greeting cards featuring an antique iron yesterday, in tribute to women.

According to The Star , the coal-fired iron of yesteryears symbolises the “unselfish contributions of women devoted to their families”.

“This is my way of showing my appreciation for women, who are the backbone of every family,” the MCA vice-president was quoted as saying.

The cards also feature Chew's by-election tagline: “Trusty and reliable Chew Mei Fun”.

Chew distributed the cards yesterday before distributing Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) cash aid to recipients.

She will host an International Women's Day celebration at Bukit Angkat on Saturday.

Politicians in the recent years have marked the day by handing out flowers to their constituents.
