PLCs without women board members to be 'named and shamed'


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.  

"As of December last year, we have 16.8% of women on the boards of directors of PLCs, so we are still short by 13.2%," Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak (pic) said at a TN50 dialogue here Monday.
