From grassroots rallies to national leadership, Tun Fatimah wasn’t just part of the story — she built the stage. If you know an inspiring and outstanding Malaysian or organisation, nominate them today for the Merdeka Award at merdekaaward.my

She made many amazing feats in her lifetime - including 🔥 The birth of Wanita UMNO, 🔥 The founding of the National Council of Women’s Organisation (NCWO), 🔥 Malaysia’s first woman Cabinet Minister.

In 1947, a young woman named Tun Fatimah Hashim stepped up to lead women in Malaysia. She didn’t just organise women — she redefined their power and changed Malaysia forever. #NationBuilders #MerdekaAwardTrust #MerdekaAward
