“I am also disappointed with GPS for not appointing many women as state Cabinet ministers. At the moment, there is only one woman as a full state minister,” the Local Government and Housing Minister told reporters after opening Pakatan Women convention here. “This is a weakness in the GPS government, and I do hope that Abang Jo will rectify this,” she said, referring to Sarawak Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Openg by his moniker.
Zuraida said women play an important role in the balanced development of not only in Sarawak, but also the country.
