Beribu wanita berarak sebagai tanda kesatuan untuk bersama mendokong misi yang satu; iaitu suara wanita suara yang penting. Suara yang mahu dan mampu membawa perubahan kepada manusia ke arah kualiti hidup yang lebih baik.
Ramai wanita menjadi mangsa keadaan kerana pimpinan negara mereka tidak memberi perhatian kepada nasib bangsa.
Pemerintah yang sepatutnya menjaga kebajikan rakyat tersangkut dengan skandal pelbagai aneka. Wang rakyat digunakan sewenang-wenangnya untuk diri dan keluarga. Akhirnya nasib rakyat tidak berubah walaupun sudah lebih separuh abad merdeka.
Wanita perlu bangkit menuntut kerajaan yang bersih, kerajaan yang mahu dan mampu menjaga kebajikan mereka dan keluarga mereka.
Kerajaan yang futuristik dan tidak boros menghabiskan wang rakyat tanpa memikirkan masa depan mereka.
Wakil rakyat berjalan bersama mengiktirafkan hak dan isu wanita yang perlu diangkat dan diketengahkan. Kerajaan yang memberi perhatian kepada pembangunan wanita dan keluarga sesungguhnya akan menuai hasilnya masa depan yang lumayan.
Kualiti keinsanan wanita menentukan kualiti generasi akan datang.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 — Former Information Minister and Kulim-Bandar Baharu MP Tan Sri Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir resigned as an Umno member today after 56 years in the ruling party.
He said in a statement he handed in his notice of resignation to Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor earlier today, just a week after quitting his division treasurer’s post.
Abdul Kadir (picture) made headlines in January when he accused the ruling party of handing out between RM200 and RM1,000 to voters in previous elections in exchange for votes.
The former Umno supreme council member, however, had denied personally using the “bomb” strategy to win elections in Kulim-Bandar Baharu where he was MP for 30 years from 1978.
He also denied making the claim out of frustration for having been sidelined in the party, stressing that his relationship with the present administration and Umno leadership remained warm.
Tengku Adnan, however, has denied Abdul Kadir’s allegations that Umno had resorted to money politics, pointing out that the party has never bought votes and did not need to.
He added that as an Umno man Abdul Kadir should not be issuing statements that could tarnish the party’s reputation and questioned why the latter did not just quit Umno.
“If he feels Umno is not right, why hasn’t he left the party?” the former tourism minister had been quoted as saying by Bernama Online.
