Appoint woman as KK city Mayor, says FCAS

Kota Kinabalu: The Federation of Chinese Associations Sabah (FCAS) hoped the State Government would seriously consider appointing a woman as the next Mayor of Kota Kinabalu City.

Its President, Tan Sri TC Goh, reckoned that such a move could allow the State Government to better achieve its noble goal of empowering the women and promoting gender equality in the public service sector.

He said following the present Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) State Government’s unprecedented move of nominating Amisah Yassin (PN-Bersatu) as one of the six Nominated Assemblyman recently, if the State Government could make another historical move of appointing a woman to the post of Mayor of Kota Kinabalu City, it would be a significant breakthrough in the aspect of women’s empowerment for Sabah.
