Behind the news 新闻背景:巫统女青年团吁成立国阵女青团巫统女青年团团长拿督罗斯娜週二（4月21日）宣佈北根区团团长诺阿芝达受委为秘书，组织秘书为振林山区团团长拉丁斯里卡蒂妮。巴西沙叻区团团长诺拉昔金出任财政，宣传局主任由瓜拉登嘉楼区团团长诺迪雅娜担任。
新团队将有超过80%新脸孔，希望能强化女青年团，进而拉近与年轻人，特别是年轻选民的距离，协助巫统及国阵更好地面对下一届全国大选。
此外，罗斯娜也促请巫统母体及国阵领导层慎重考虑成立国阵女青年团的建议，以加强国阵各成员党女青年团的联繫，实现首相兼巫统主席拿督斯里纳吉“全民的马来西亚”概念。
她说，武吉士南卯补选成绩显示国阵仍未获得其他种族的信任，因此，设立国阵女青年团能达到多元种族合作的目标，避免人们觉得巫统只是为马来人而斗争，置他种族于不顾。
“巫统女青年团一直都有和其他国阵成员党的女青年团合作推动各项活动，彼此互动良好，因此，目前是时候成立国阵女青年团。”
正式成立国阵女青年团首相兼国阵最高理事会主席拿督斯里纳吉宣布，国阵从即日起正式成立国阵女青年团，同时也表示各成员党的女青年团会自行安排会议商讨各种细节。
Puteri BN To Attract Younger GenerationKUALA LUMPUR, May 19 (Bernama) -- Puteri Barisan Nasional (BN), whose establishment was agreed to by the party leadership, can be the best platform to attract youth of various races to join BN's component parties to support the present government, said Puteri Umno chief Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin.
She said Puteri BN would be able to overcome the problem of racial polarisation that had been challenging of late and also act as the apex body to coordinate national activities for the young generation.
In a statement today, Rosnah said Puteri Umno believed that young generation leaders from the Puteri MIC, MCA, the People's Progressive Party and Gerakan would welcome the establishment of the movement.
Rosnah said young women in component parties needed to articulate several proposals which could be forwarded to the BN Supreme Council to ensure that Puteri BN was really effective.
Officially setup Puteri BNTuesday May 19, 2009 - Najib said the Barisan supreme council decided yesterday to officially create the Barisan Nasional Puteri movement. The component parties will carry out the follow-up action in their respective parties.
Wanita MCA Studying Puteri BN StructureKUALA LUMPUR, May 16 (Bernama) -- Wanita MCA is studying the structure of Puteri Barisan Nasional (BN) as mooted by Puteri Umno, Wanita MCA chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun said Saturday.
She said if the proposed structure was suitable and in line with MCA's principles, Wanita MCA would have no problem joining it.
Chew said MCA, especially the Wanita wing did not rule out the effectiveness of the roles played by young women, but needed to ascertain the objective and the basic structure of the proposed new wing.
"Not all BN component parties have their own Puteri wings and if they do, their structures might be different from Puteri Umno.
"In MCA for instance, we have established our own Beliawanis wing since 1992 where the members comprise those below 35 years old," she told a press conference after opening a blogging course for Wanita MCA members, here.
