Political career

In March 2009 she became the head of UMNO's women's youth wing ("UMNO Puteri")[6] and was subsequently appointed Deputy Minister for Health by incoming Prime Minister Najib Razak.[7]

On 16 May 2013, after the 13th General Election, she was shifted from Deputy Health Minister to Deputy Works Minister.[8] Also in 2013, she relinquished the leadership of UMNO Puteri due to her exceeding the organisation's age limit, and was elected to the Supreme Council of the full party.[9]
