Change that They Should be Talking About
My hubby likes to say that there is nothing uglier than four men in a car. I'm not always sure about that but when I took a look at the winners of the UMNO elections yesterday, I have to say that there aren't many things uglier than 24 men in a Supreme Council.
And there are some real beauties in that line-up! Noh, Bung, Reezal….what a landscape we women have to put up with! Are puffy cheeks and sleazy eyes a requirement to be voted in?
Luckily the one woman, Datuk Dr. Norraesah, is neither puffy-cheeked nor sleazy-eyed. Phew! At least she hasn't let the side down, physically at least.
This morning I had a meeting with one of the foreign observers to the UMNO GA, the Foreign Minister of Bangladesh, Dr. Dipu Moni. This was interesting to me from many standpoints. For one thing, she's a woman and her boss, Sheikh Hasina, Prime Minister of Bangladesh, is also a woman. She's not just a medical doctor but also a lawyer. In comparison, our guys are hard put to be qualified in one field, let alone two! And let's not talk about when we will ever have a woman as Foreign Minister, let alone Prime Minister!
