Puteri Umno wants more young women in GLCs, statutory bodies

Puteri Umno, a women's wing of the Malaysian opposition party Umno, has called for increased representation of young women in government-linked companies (GLCs), local authorities, and statutory bodies. Nurul Amal Mohd Fauzi, the chief of Puteri Umno, emphasized the need for these women to be given meaningful roles in decision-making rather than being treated merely as part of the party's political machinery.

She highlighted the importance of translating the 30% women's participation target into concrete opportunities, particularly for women aged below 40, to take up leadership and decision-making positions.
