Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the ratio of 40 per cent men, 40 per cent women and 20 per cent men and women had been made a policy so that no one gender would dominate in the decision-making process. “This means no one gender forms more than 60 per cent, compared to previously when it was 70 per cent men and 30 per cent women. Hence, this policy is more progressive for women than in the past,” he told reporters after opening the ‘Wanita Hebat Perkasa’ programme organised by the United Muslim Association, here, today.
