Value Your Vote, Don't Follow Your Emotions - Shahrizat

Umno Wanita chief Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil Friday urged the people to value their democrative rights as voters and not follow their emotions when voting.

She said this was crucial as the decision by the 13,268,002 registered voters on polling day, May 5, will determine the future of the country's coming generations.

"In the 13th general election (GE13), set your emotions aside as your vote is very important, because it is a trust. Your vote must not be misused as a protest or be wasted," she said after visiting the Mambau MCA operations room in Taman Rasah Jaya, in Seremban, Friday.

Shahrizat was asked to comment on the crisis in the opposition pact which showed that they were not on the same page although they had been claiming otherwise.

Also present during her visit were the BN candidate for the Mambau state seat and national Wanita MCA chief, Datuk Yu Chok Tow, and BN candidate for the Rahang state seat, Julia Wong Pik Min.

Shahrizat said voters should think rationally and consider the track record of the candidates or party before casting their votes, and not because their choice was influenced by the lies and slander flying around.

On the chances of the BN women candidates in GE13, Shahrizat said their chances of winning were good as women elected representatives were generally known to be hardworking and committed, while women party members were always the backbone of any political party machinery.
