The government sector should set an example for private companies in empowering women in leadership, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He noted that while the public sector has seen increasing female participation, with at least 30%, more can be achieved within government-linked companies.

00:00On the count of three, two, one.
00:18We talk about school discipline,
00:21about domestic violence,
00:24about abortion, including sexual harassment.
00:29What is discussed by women's associations,
00:36educational needs,
00:40discipline and culture,
00:42learning and re-study,
00:45are still dependent on the household.
00:49In pursuing a concrete development,
00:53we often ignore this foundation.
00:58Therefore, the government,
01:02especially the Ministry of Women's Development,
01:04pays attention to this.
01:06I am proud because the Minister, Nancy Syukri,
01:10used the opportunity and opportunities
01:14in the weekly meetings of the Ministerial Association
01:19to show the perspective of the Ministry.
01:23I am tired of hearing this,
01:24but she played a good role.
01:26We need a woman's leadership
01:28who is effective,
01:30who speaks boldly and clearly.
01:32What does freedom mean?
01:34What does democracy mean?
01:36She used the opportunity and opportunities
01:39to speak well,
01:41to show her perspective
01:43so that she can help build the nation and the country.
01:48So, I emphasize on family.
01:54For me, it is very integral,
01:56a must in the life of society and the development of the country.
02:01We do not choose women just because they are women.
02:05But to be fair,
02:07we choose because they have the opportunity and abilities
02:11with a record
02:14and do not have to be left out
02:17just because they are women.
02:20Therefore, the example that must be given
02:23is in the government itself.
02:25Although there is an increase of 30% in taxes
02:29and above that women,
02:31but it can be improved.
02:34And I emphasized last year
02:36that the private sector must also be responsible.
02:40The private sector,
02:42especially large companies,
02:44government companies,
02:48must start evaluating
02:53why in the highest level
02:56the number of women is too small.
02:59So, I believe
03:01the Prime Minister will ask for attention
03:06and we will get a report.
03:08Even if it is less, it should not be forced to increase now
03:12but there is a detailed plan.
03:15If the government does not show an example,
03:19I think it will be difficult to stimulate the private sector.
