Menteri Pembangunan Masyarakat dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna, Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun berkata peningkatan jumlah wanita dalam sektor korporat dan bukan korporat penting bagi mencapai sekurang-kurangnya 30 peratus daripada golongan ini memegang jawatan tertinggi dalam sektor korporat menjelang 2016.

“Saya percaya kerjasama antara kerajaan, syarikat, usahawan, individu dan pelbagai golongan diperlukan dalam meningkatkan latihan, bimbingan dan pembangunan untuk ahli lembaga pengarah wanita yang berpotensi,” kata Azizah dalam ucapannya semasa merasmikan pelancaran Roadshow Mengenai Program Pengarah-Pengarah Wanita (On Women Director’s Programme) di sini, kelmarin.

Azizah berkata, para pelabur, syarikat-syarikat korporat, organisasi perkhidmatan profesional dan firma perlu memainkan peranan secara aktif dalam menyokong inisiatif ini.

Pengerusi syarikat harus menetapkan sasaran peratusan jumlah wanita di dalam syarikat mereka dari tahun 2012 hingga 2015, seperti yang dituntut oleh Suruhanjaya Sekuriti Malaysia dan Bursa Saham Kuala Lumpur, katanya.

Assistant Infrastructure Development Minister Datuk Pang Yuk Ming urged youths to look out for new markets in Kalimantan, Indonesia, which is could become a gold mine within 10 years due to rapid development of oil palm plantation there. He believe Kalimantan has a huge population and stronger economy compared to Sabah with the opening of many plantations. 

The indirectly situation opens up golden opportunity for Sabah youths to explore the huge market there such as becoming distributor of products. The distance between Tawau and Kalimantan compared to Jakarta is nearer and the products can be brought in from Tawau faster. He also mention that those who prepared the best business working paper plan would be brought to visit business opportunities in Kalimantan and China. 

Datuk Pang said all the opportunities when chairing the Youth-Economy Forum committee formation meeting. Datuk Pang hoped next forum, which is schedule for next year would be a platform for youths interested in business.

Hope locals get the opportunity business that State government already plan for next year. It is good if our youths can explore more job opportunity out there. But, if within 10 years Kalimantan economy stronger compare to Sabah, I think and I hope all PATI will be send to work there.
