  "account": "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim emphasized the need for more opportunities for women to serve in the country's security and defense sectors, including specific legal fields, during a dialogue session with National Service Training Program (PLKN) Level 3.0 instructors at PLKN Training Base 515 in Kuala Lumpur. While certain military roles require high physical abilities, Anwar stressed that these should not deter women from joining these areas. He urged women to be given a fair chance to contribute based on their abilities and expertise in the security and defense sector, as reported by Astro Awani. Addressing the concerns of a PLKN instructor about the challenge of producing more female leaders, especially in the security and defense fields, Anwar acknowledged that the majority of university graduates are women, who are also capable of competing with men in certain examinations and tests.",
