Gender Equality

I read from the recent news about a female candidate for USA Republican VP election, a female candidate for Japan's PM. If these two ladies succeeded in becoming the VP and PM, then it is truly time for CHANGE ! Oh no they have changed in certain part of the world before this, Margaret Tatcher, Indira Gandhi, Merkel, etc etc .... 

In every corner of the world people are crying for CHANGE, but how much change is happening ? People still see that women's role is still of minor as compare to men. In this country where I live in, one MP even criticize women 'leaking every month' in comparison to informations leak by a fellow MP. This is such sexist of him being a Member of Parliament, hurling such derogatory words.

I was talking with a fellow industry player about women in business when she was commenting on other business owner bad mouthing behind her by saying that all her businesses comes from making out with her male guests. This is absurd of human when they are unable to match up to skills and business capability, will find blames and reason to criticize another. 

I think it truly is high time for the world to look at women, who are more tolerance and patience. Who are more capable in leading and managing, who are more patience and persevere. Who will not procrastinate and more affirmative in decision making. 

Is Malaysia ready for that ? To have a female Deputy PM ?
