One for the Selangor's ex-MB wife


We are just 2 years short of the 100th International Women's day celebration.

Sadly, I read in the news headline today, "Ex-MB’s wife: I voted with the others for dissolution." read on at the bottom of page

Excuse me, this is Selangor's ex-first lady. In this article she went on to say that she has voted for a dissolution without knowing the purpose of it, but went ahead to vote for it anyway because everybody else did so.

Well she either did it to absolve herself from any criminal intent or she is just a major bimbo. Either way, it is bad news.

Ex-MB’s wife: I voted with the others for dissolution

SHAH ALAM: Selangor Umno liaison chief Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib’s wife Puan Sri Asbi Rohani Asnan told an inquiry that she did not know why the Wives of Selangor Assemblymen and MPs Welfare and Charity Organisation (Balkis) was dissolved but voted for the dissolution because everyone else at the meeting did so.

She also told the Selangor state government’s Special Select Committee on Competence, Accountability and Transparency (Selcat) that it was agreed at the meeting that the association’s monies totalling RM9.9mil would be transferred to another organisation with a similar agenda.

(The money was eventually given to the Association of Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers (Bakti) after Balkis was dissolved.)

Asbi Rohani was Balkis president until 1997, while at the time of the dissolution former mentri besar Datuk Seri Dr Khir Toyo’s wife Datin Seri Zaharah Kechik was the president.
