16th October, 2012
KOTA KINABALU: The government wants to see at least 30 per cent of women holding decision-making positions in the corporate sector by 2016.
State Community Development and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun said the goal is achievable with a combination of government, corporations, entrepreneurs, existing providers and individuals coming together.
“That must consolidate and improve the provision of training, development, coaching and mentoring for potential board members,” said Azizah in her speech while officiating the launching of Roadshow On Women Director’s Programme here yesterday.
She also said investors, corporate companies, professional services organizations and search firms should play their role actively in supporting such initiatives.
Furthermore, all company chairmen must set out the percentage of women they aim to have on their boards in 2012 to 2015, as demanded by both the Securities Commission and Bursa Saham Kuala Lumpur.
