“There’s only 12.85 per cent of women, one day after we celebrated the International Women’s Day compared with PH which boasted a lot more female politicians. However, Salahuddin said that voters are more concerned about the ability of the new Cabinet to deliver socio-economic government programmes, which will risk ire from citizens if they fail.
Meanwhile, Amanah information chief Khalid Abd Samad claimed that the Cabinet line-up was aimed at fulfilling the wishes of all the political parties who are backing this new government, saying that this was achieved through the creation of many more positions at the minister and deputy minister level.
Former deputy minister of women, family and community development Hannah Yeoh said Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail’s role as a female deputy prime minister will be missed.
