One of such candidates is Hasmorni Binti Tamby. She is a diploma holder in Entrepreneurship and Business Management.
Fuziah binti Salleh has recently debated over the budget 2022. One topic she debated on is Gender Responsive Budgeting. In conversation with Manimaran Suppiah, Chief Editor, Voice Asia News, she said that a Gender Responsive Budget enables us to do analysis regarding how resources are spent on men and women.
It leads to policies that enable us to ensure that there is gender mainstreaming. It reduces the gender gap between men and women. She also said that women are not represented at the highest decision making levels and that is why it is very important that the voice of women must be heard.
Her vision is clear. It will help to uplift women, increase their role in decision making of the state administration and in turn empower them. Her mission of empowering women is inspirational.
