Madius Tangau shares his thoughts on women’s grace of feminine wisdom in the area of science and technology. The Petri Dish editor-in-chief, MAHALETCHUMY ARUJANAN, in a recent interview puts his thoughts on record.
IT is undeniable that Malaysian women have been a driving force in the country’s economic growth. And we have achieved excellent gender equality in Malaysia, but I do believe we can improve on this to spur more women to helming organisations. For this, I applaud the prime minister for announcing 2018 as “Women Empowerment Year”.
As a minister in charge of science, technology and innovation, I want to see more women at the pinnacles of Science Technology and Innovation (STI),” says Datuk Seri Panglima Wilfred Madius Tangau.
