Shahrizat Ready To Contest In GE14 
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 5 (Bernama) -- Wanita UMNO chief Tan Sri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil has hinted that she is ready to contest in the 14th General Election (GE14).
However, Shahrizat, who is also Barisan Nasional (BN) Wanita chief, said the decision was up to the party leadership.
"Politicians must be prepared for everything... it is up to the chairman (BN) (Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak),"she told reporters after handing over BN Wanita contributions to the residents of Selangor King George V Silver Jubilee Elderly Home here, today.
She said this to reporters when asked to comment on her willingness to make a comeback in the coming general election.
Meanwhile, commenting on rumours that she would contest in the Sungai Besar parliamentary constituency, Shahrizat said: "I am hearing various rumours. Thank you for saying I will be contesting here and there, in politics it is nice to know people want us. But it all depends on my boss (Najib)."
Meanwhile, Shahrizat said BN Wanita had submitted the wing's GE14 manifesto to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for consideration.
Among the items contained in the manifesto was the construction of integrated care centres in every constituency under the 12th Malaysia Plan if the BN was still given the mandate after GE14.
"This is because today most of the elderly care centres only focus on senior citizens but there is no interaction, making them lonely in their old age.
"This needs to be changed, where these care centres need to be integrated with children's care centres and community activity centres so that there will be communication at various levels,"she said.
Meanwhile, Shahrizat handed over essential items and cash contribution in conjunction with Chinese New Year to the 125 residents of the care centre.
BN Wanita also donated RM10,000 to the care centre that has been operating for 73 years.
