PAPAR, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- Puteri Umno chief Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin said she was still considering the possibility of competing for a Wanita Umno central post, including the post of deputy president, in the party election in October.

Rosnah, who is also deputy works minister, said a lot of factors needed to be considered, including support from the movement's grassroots before making a decision.

"I am still weighing the pros and cons of competing because when compared with other candidates, I hail from Puteri Umno and hold the position of Puteri chief until this September.

"Since registration of candidates will only start on Sept 28, give me some space to think about it," she told reporters at the Hari Raya open house at her residence in Kampung Pengalat Kecil Papar near here yesterday.

The Papar member of parliament said, although she had been in politics for 12 years, she was relatively new to Wanita Umno.

"So, let me consider carefully before making a decision," she said.
