Continue hiring women, urges Wee

PUTRAJAYA: Efforts to increase the number of Malaysian women in the workforce and in business may have shown great progress but must not stop, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

He said 32.3% of the top positions in the public service were held by women while only 16% of women were on the board of directors among public companies in 2014.
