PETALING JAYA: Despite women making up about half the number of voters in the country, Malaysia is still among the countries with the lowest proportion of female parliamentarians.
This was pointed out by All Women’s Action Society (AWAM) programme manager Lilian Kok, who said that in the 14th general election (GE14), 7.3 million women made up 50.44% of the total number of registered voters.
