KUALA LUMPUR: Public listed companies (PLCs) which fail to have any women on their boards of directors will be "named and shamed" in a list to be published by the Government next year. "That way, I believe there will be a dramatic change in women representation on boards of directors," said the Prime Minister. "As for education, we have 64% of women in public tertiary education institutions as of 2016, compared with 59.7% in 2007. "These are among the achievements and progress made by Malaysian women that prove the saying 'when women succeed, a nation will also succeed'," he said. Eighteen women from different target groups spoke of their hopes and aspirations at the dialogue organised by the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry.
