Jeffrey to women: Be proactive in giving ideas

TAMBUNAN: Women should not be shy to give ideas and views to develop their respective villages, said Deputy Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan (pic).

He said the Government’s strategy to increase the number of women leaders, namely 30 per cent female quota staff at the village level, should be welcomed and they should take the opportunity to contribute to the progress of a village.

“Similarly, youths should also be given the opportunity to lead any position in the village’s management, either in the Village Development and Security Committee (JPKK) or the Village Head in determining the development direction of a village.
