Still long way from 30% women in key posts quota

PETALING JAYA: It has been more than six decades since Malaysia achieved independence, and over a quarter century since the country pledged to remove all forms of discrimination against women.
Yet, they continue to have very little say in how the country is run.
Of the 222 members in the Dewan Rakyat, the country’s highest legislative authority, there are only 33 women, accounting for only 14% of the total.
The likes of former minister Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz and her predecessor Tan Sri Aishah Ghani are the exception rather than the rule.
