Kota Kinabalu: Chairperson of the Sabah Women’s Advisory Council (MPWS), Datuk Noni J. Said, said the appointments of two high-ranking women officials augured well for heightened women’s advancement in the years to come. She said the Council regarded the high-profile appointments as a much-welcomed signal of further increased women’s representation, be it in public service, the political arena, non-political sphere or economic sector, in the near future.“We (MPWS) are delighted that yet another highly-qualified woman with an exemplary record of service and professional integrity, has been appointed to the constitutional post of State Attorney-General.
“Without a doubt, we view the hierarchical promotion as a natural progression for Nor Asiah Mohd Yusof who has been serving as Deputy State Attorney-General with commitment and dedication,” she said.
Noni, who was vocal on women’s issues during her previous terms in the new millennium, hoped the Government of the day would be receptive to the Council’s proposals or recommendations for continued women’s development for the socio-economic betterment of women in the state.
