KUCHING: A total of 100 women leaders from various professional backgrounds nationwide are expected to be selected for this year's Women Leadership Apprenticeship Programme (Perantis), according to Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri (pic).

She said each of them would receive up to RM50,000 to implement leadership development programmes in their respective fields.

She said the programme, among other things, is designed to address the deep-rooted gender gap in leadership.

“While women excel academically, this success has not yet translated into economic and political leadership, where scores remain disproportionately low.

When it comes to skincare, the first thought on our minds would be beauty products such as serums, creams, and masks. However, beauty experts and even researchers have stated that drinking more water can be just as crucial for your skin's health.
“This initiative aims to reverse that trend by providing mentorship, resources and platforms for women leaders to thrive,” she said in her speech at the Women in Orange Economy (WIOE) programme here today.

Nancy said by investing in initiatives like Perantis, the government is laying the foundation and creating an environment for women to lead with strength, resilience and innovation.

“The most valuable ‘products’ we create are not material things but the leaders who inspire, drive change and uplift their communities,” she added.
