Kota Kinabalu: More women should be given opportunities to take up leadership roles in Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), while strengthening cooperation and engagement with communities at the grassroots level.
GRS Wanita chief Datuk Seri Azizah Mohd Dun said close cooperation among women leaders was important to ensure the coalition’s activities were well-coordinated and reached the community effectively.
“Efforts to engage with the grassroots must continue so that the voices, needs and aspirations of the people can be better understood.
“Women on the ground play a role in connecting party leadership with the community,” she was speaking after receiving a courtesy visit from the Wanita Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (PGRS) delegation here on Tuesday.
Azizah said greater female representation in leadership would also bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the decision-making process.
“The role of women must be strengthened at all levels to help build a stronger and more inclusive GRS,” she added.
