Rosmah wants Wanita members to counter slander
Wanita Umno, through is Skuad Sayang, should form a special unit to promote volunteerism and welfare programmes organised by the party and Wanita Barisan Nasional (BN).
The prime minister's wife, Rosmah Mansor said the special unit should also defend the policies of the party and the government and counter all allegations made by the opposition.
"Let the people at the grassroots know what you are doing," she said at a function organised by Skuad Sayang at the Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur today.
"The women in the BN component parties should form strategic collaboration to hold programmes to get closer to the people and unite people of various races and religions."
Rosmah also said that the women needed to master information technology and use the social media to counter wild accusations against the party and its leaders.
"As the engine of transformation, women must master the latest technology or be left out of the technology explosion," said the patron of Wanita Umno's Skuad Sayang.
Rosmah said she was concerned about slander in the social media and was saddened by the wild accusations made against her family, especially her husband Najib Razak.
