Wanita Barisan Nasional (BN) Sarawak are hoping that there would be more women candidates fielded in the upcoming 10th state election. Currently there are only four BN female representatives in the 71-member state legislative assembly. They are Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali (Samariang), Simoi Peri (Lingga), Datin Fatimah Abdullah (Dalat) and Rosey Yunus (Bekenu). The opposition has DAP's Violet Yong (Pending) and Ting Tze Fui (Meradong). Rohani, who is also the Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry said BN also lacked capable and professional women leaders, stressing that all members in the component parties should help one another to ensure a win for the BN.
