Female graduates number 50.2% compared to males who comprise 49.8%. [Malaysia’s Chief Statistician]. Yet Females still are grossly understated in various sectors especially in POLITICS – CORPORATE – CIVIL & OTHER SERVICES and PROFESSIONS.. Women continue to appeal or request or more appropriately BEG male dominated authorities to give them their dues. 30% Women Representations on Boards of Bursa listed companies was announced years ago but till to-date even this has yet to be achieved. Even in current Parliament sitting a Woman YB raised the question of lack of women representation in a committee. MY VIEW – WOMEN VOTERS NUMBER IN EXCESS OF 50% OF VOTERS AND CAN IF UNITED HAVE ENOUGH YB NUMBERS AND TAKE OVER Bless all.
