UMNO AGM Wanita Umno today warned of a plot involving foreign elements to topple the government.

As such, the wing urged the government to take stern action against those involved in the plot

"It is not an easy job, nor is it popular. But it has to be done to save the country.

"Sacrifices need to be made so the people will continue to enjoy peace and harmony," said Wanita Umno chief Shahrizat Abd Jalil in her policy speech at the wing's annual general assembly in PWTC.

She cited examples from the Middle East, to show how the fight for human rights and democracy led to destruction.

"Take heed of what happened in Iraq, Egypt, Paris, Syria, Yemen, Mali and other countries.

"Cries for democracy, human rights and freedom are made but only to serve personal interests, that they destroy what was painstakenly built by the countries' forefathers," she added.

She said this is the reason the women's wing supports Umno vice-president and home minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi in the fight against terrorism and extremism.
