NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 116 4.0 - PANTAUPRU15 ACTIVITIES & INITIATIVES A committee named “PantauPRU15” was set up as part of the outcome of the “Forum Kepimpinan Wanita Dalam Politik” which eventually merged as a loose coalition of CSOs and individuals in the commitment to increase the participation women in politics and legislative position. In this section, we present all the activities related to PantauPRU15. 4.1 “FORUM KEPIMPINAN WANITA DALAM POLITIK” ❖ About The Forum This Forum was jointly organized by National Council of Women’s Organisations (NCWO), Mininistry of Women, Family and Community Development and Council of Malaysian Women Political Leaders (COMWEL) on 5 October 2022 at Royal Lake Club, Kuala Lumpur. It was officiated by YB Dato Seri Rina Harun, Mininister of Women, Family and Community Development. The objectives of this event were to understand the candidate nomination system of political parties and to mobilize the female’s voice and power for the actualization of 30% women participation in high position of political leadership. For the upcoming 15th General Election (PRU15), political leadership was translated for at least 30% of those nominated candidates are women. NCWO President, Tan Sri Dr Sharifah Hapsah makes a personal plea in her opening speech for the increase of women participation to more than 30% in PRU15. The forum had gathered more than 100 participants and managed to bring in 5 main different party leaders in one forum with the commitment to have at least 30% women candidate in PRU15. This includes participants from Dewan Rakyat, Dewan Negara dan Dewan Undangan Negeri, women leaders from various political parties and representatives from NGOs which includes NGOs that support the democracy process, women empowerment and good governance. This forum planned to have its short and long term strategies to attain drastic increase in the women nomination in the upcoming election. This includes initiating pressure from the civil societies and other stakeholders so that every political party could play its role in ensuring 30% women nominated was realized. The long-term strategy would be to have legislative reform, such as the change in the qualified age for voters from 21 to 18 years old. NCWO, KPWKM, COMWEL and all the stakeholders present at the forum had high hope and expectation that that this could be really the turning point for a

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 117 new reality in the coming 15th General Election with all parties nominating 30% women as their candidates. This was considered a natural action taken since gender parity in politics and economy as indicated by Malaysia Gender Gap Index (MGGI) 2021 are really far back as compared to those for education and health. This showed that Malaysia produce educated and healthy women, but their success in those areas are not translated in their opportunities and participations in economy and political leadership. It was clear that Malaysia has not consumed half of its assets to develop its economy and to enrich its leadership. This was really unfortunate since the increase in the women participation would increase GDP and would enhance the process and quality of the political decision made for the development of the nation. Women are members of the political parties and also they are the majority voters in Malaysia. In fact, women had been the backbone in all the election campaigns as vote appellants. It can be seen that women’s values and talents are not appropriately and fully utilized since only a small portion of them are nominated to be in the election as leaders for the rakyat in Parliament and State Legislative Assemblies.

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 119 RESOLUSI FORUM KEPIMPINAN WANITA DALAM POLITIK “MEMACU REALITI PENINGKATAN JUMLAH PERWAKILAN WANITA DALAM PRU15 DAN BADAN LEGISLATIF” 5 OKTOBER 2022 Resolusi ini terhasil dalam Forum Kepimpinan Wanita dalam Politik anjuran Majlis Kebangsaan Pertubuhan Wanita Malaysia (NCWO), Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat (KPWKM) dan Majlis Pemimpin Politik Wanita Malaysia (COMWEL). Kami, peserta daripada pelbagai latar belakang, keturunan, jantina, agama, budaya, ideologi dan status sosioekonomi yang menghadiri forum Kepimpinan Wanita Dalam Politik pada 5 Oktober 2022 di Dewan Bankuasi, Kelab DiRaja, Tasik Perdana, Kuala Lumpur; Tidak boleh menerima bahawa, • setelah 65 tahun merdeka jumlah kepimpinan wanita dalam badan legislatif tidak pernah melebihi 15% iaitu 14.86% di Dewan Rakyat, 11.42% di Dewan Negara dan 11.57% di Dewan Undangan Negeri; • kedudukan Malaysia bagi kepimpinan wanita dalam badan legislatif di Inter-Parlimentary Union (IPU) dan Global Gender Gap Index adalah amat mendukacitakan; • sistem pendidikan telah menghasilkan wanita terpelajar dan berkemahiran tinggi tetapi tidak dilibatkan sepenuhnya sebagai pemimpin; • semua parti politik hanya mencalonkan sejumlah kecil wanita dalam setiap pilihan raya umum walaupun majoriti pengundi dan perayu undi ialah wanita; • ketandusan wanita dalam badan legislatif masih berlaku sungguhpun terdapat desakan oleh sayap wanita parti-parti politik untuk melaksanakan sasaran sekurang-kurangnya 30% pencalonan wanita dalam pilihan raya dan kepimpinan parti. Bersyukur dan menghargai, • komitmen Kerajaan kepada pariti gender melalui beberapa langkah, termasuk meminda Artikel 8(2) Perlembagaan Persekutuan, menetapkan sasar 30% wanita di peringkat membuat keputusan tertinggi dalam sektor, awam dan swasta, memperkenalkan gender budgeting dan memperakui instrumen antarabangsa seperti Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW); pelaksanaan matlamat Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (SDG 2030); Beijing Platform of Action 1995; dan membuat janji dan komitmen untuk menunaikan pemerkasaan dan kesaksamaan gender dalam dokumen pencalonan Malaysia ke Human Rights Council; • inisiatif pihak swasta dan industri yang telah menerima pakai Sustainable Development Framework (merangkumi prinsip alam sekitar, sosial dan governans atau ESG) yang termasuk prinsip pemerkasaan gender dalam industri tertentu.

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 120 Mengetahui bahawa, • dunia IR4.0 yang beroperasi tanpa sempadan dan terdedah kepada bermacam-macam idea dan maklumat yang berpotensi menjadi sumber konflik atau sumber kekayaan memerlukan gaya kepimpinan yang peka dan hormat-menghormati segala kepelbagaian dan bertindak inklusif; • kajian-kajian menunjukkan gaya kepimpinan ini terdapat dalam kalangan wanita yang memiliki ciri-ciri yang mementing dan berorientasikan perhubungan (relationship oriented), berempati, kurang berkuku besi (less authoritative), lebih gemar bergabung dan bekerjasama (affiliative and collaborative) berbanding bersaing, lebih beretika dan boleh dipercayai dan lebih cenderung membuat transformasi; gaya kepimpinan ini adalah kekuatan kepimpinan wanita yang sangat sesuai dengan keadaan dunia sekarang; • proses sosialisasi wanita yang dipengaruhi sistem patriarki, salah tafsiran agama dan salah anggapan masyarakat tentang kebolehan kepimpinan anak perempuan telah menurunkan keyakinan wanita untuk memimpin dan mereka sendiri membina rintangan psikologi yang enggan menonjol bakat sebagai pemimpin, walaupun mereka berkebolehan dan berkemahiran tinggi. Maka, kami sebulat suara dan bersama-sama berganding bahu, menyeru dan bertekad untuk merealisasikan satu lonjakan peningkatan calon wanita dalam PRU15 dan PRU seterusnya ke arah pembentukan masyarakat demokratik yang matang dan kesaksamaan gender dalam kepimpinan bagi mencapai status negara maju, makmur dan sejahtera melalui tindakan-tindakan berikut: 1. Menggesa parti-parti politik untuk menerima hakikat bahawa parti politik merupakan tunjang demokrasi dan penentu inklusiviti wanita dalam kepimpinan dan kepelbagaian gender dalam kepimpinan akan memperkayakan kreativiti, meningkatkan mutu pembuatan keputusan, dan menambah produktiviti parti, justeru membuat komitmen: a. menambah baik proses pemilihan calon peringkat parti dengan memastikan sekurang-kurangnya seorang calon ialah wanita bagi setiap kerusi negeri dan parlimen; b. menetapkan dasar sekurang-kurangnya 30% daripada calon PRU15 dan pilihan raya seterusnya ialah wanita di kerusi yang berpotensi menang; c. merangka strategi supaya 30% calon PRU diterjemahkan kepada 30% dalam badan legislatif; d. memperkukuh latihan kepimpinan, mentoring dan coaching bagi meningkatkan jumlah bakat pemimpin dalam kalangan wanita; e. Mengkaji semula struktur dan hierarki parti dengan menetapkan sekurang-kurangnya 30% peratus wanita dalam kepimpinan tertinggi parti; f. Memastikan sekurang-kurangnya 30% wanita dalam kepimpinan peringkat negeri dan kabinet persekutuan. g. Memastikan sekurang-kurangnya seorang wanita dilantik sebagai Senator daripada setiap negeri.

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 123 4.2 POST GENERAL ELECTION FORUM ❖ About The Forum “Forum Kepimpinan Politik Wanita Pasca PRU15 (Melangkah Ke Hadapan)” was held on 10 December 2022 in Collaboration with Gagasan Minda Merdeka and KPWKM at Hotel Tamu and Suite, Kuala Lumpur. This forum was organized after the 15th general Election (PRU15) where it could be seen that the women representations in Dewan Rakyat is declining from 14.9% to 13.5%. Women representations in Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) are still away from the target of at least 30% in which it can be seen that DUN Pahang (4.8%); DUN Perlis (20 peratus) and DUN Perak (20.3 peratus). The percentage of women in cabinet is 17.9% and this is still not reaching the targetted 30% in the legislative decision body. These results are really upsetting despite all the conserted and consistent efforts and pressure made by the women’s wing of the political parties, NGOs, CSOs and Jawatankuasa Pemantauan Masyarakat Sivil Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 (Pantau PRU15). Furthermore, promises has been made by the political parties to put more qualified women as their election candidates. Eventhough there is an increase in the number of women candidate (127) competing for the Parliament seats (103), but only 23.6% won the 30 parliament seats. It is clear that a lot more efforts are needed to ensure the political leadership opportunities are given to women. Factors affecting these outcomes, either winning or loosing, need to be thoroughly investigated and studied so that more winning opportunities for women in future elections could be achieved.

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 124 This forum has been the sharing platform for 10 women candidates from various parties on the challenges they faced in PRU15. Analysis on their experiences served as insights, guidelines and motivations to women leaders in developing strategies to increase future women political leadership in Malaysia, particularly in the women representation and women substantive participations in policy making and leadership direction of the country.

Targeted testing must be continued as part of FTTIS for as long as vaccinations have not been offered to an entire population. This implies that vaccination strategies must be intensified to also focus on workers in specific industries (factory, constructions), low-cost flat residents when cases are reported, frequently exposed health care workers, vulnerable and hard to reach groups in rural areas. Mandatory testing at the workplace has the potential to reach disadvantaged groups who are also at a higher risk to contract CoViD-19 (Robert Koch Institute, 2021) and also individuals who exhibit a low level of compliance with CoViD-19-related regulations. CADANGAN 1. Review and establish a robust national testing strategy based on Malaysia’s epidemiological situation and resources for a realistic exit strategy in the National Recovery Plan (NRP) 2. Make testing mandatory twice a week—assuming independent compliance by employers and workers of 95% each—would have reduced infections by 23%. 3. At-home tests should be evaluated and approved by authorities as soon as possible. JENIS CADANGAN: bukan cukai

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 134 TOPIK: HEALTH ISU UTAMA: Ensuring vaccine access to vulnerable groups, particularly women in rural areas, the elderly and people with disabilities at home and in care homes CADANGAN 1. Continue and step up by at least 20% more of 2021 budget, the Community Vaccine Mobilisation (MOVAK) programme initiated by the Ministries of National Unity and the Housing and Local Government to expedite vaccination among rural communities. This initiative has helped residents who did not register for Covid-19 vaccine due to internet coverage constraints and/or not having access to smartphones. Budget must adequately support the three units namely the (a) calling unit which confirms and reminds vaccine recipients, who had registered, regarding their vaccination dates, (b) mobilisation unit which provides transportation for them to go to vaccination centre (PPV)” and (c) community action unit. https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2021/06/19/communityvaccine-mobilisation-programme-plans-to-expedite-vaccinationproc/1983479 2. Provide funding (at least 50% more than 2021 budget) for volunteers to enable MOVAK, MOH, MOSTI and MOHE to move faster and more efficiently in targeting vaccination for women and families in rural areas and other hard to reach groups. Involvement of volunteers are likely to be more effective at local community centres as community centres rarely have adequate number of staff and will require new set of volunteers. The volunteers can be mobilised from (a) the staff and students of the 254 community colleges (under MOHE) https://www2.mqa.gov.my/mqr/akrbykomuniti.cfm and (b) NGOs and individuals. As a guide the current rate for volunteers is MYR50/day or MYR100/day at vaccination centre 3. Step up training & recruitment of HCW for Community Centres and mobile units 4. Ensure enough Supplies of test materials and vaccines JENIS CADANGAN: bukan cukai

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 135 TOPIK: HEALTH ISU UTAMA: improving the support system and capacity of the health care system by addressing the total needs of frontline workers, in particular doctors, nurses, allied health personnel, personnel conducting contact tracing, mortuary and burial staff, security personnel. The existing national standard operating procedures (SOP) of crisis management are centred on the physical preparedness of the crises such as organizational structures, communication networks, food supplies, PPEs and other logistic apparatuses. SOPs should also improve the morale of HCW by including psychological, emotional, social and spiritual support to healthcare workers. Psychosocial, emotional and spiritual support are equally important. The majority of health care workers are women. A study in Wuhan reported in JAMANetwOpen. 2020;3(3):e203976.doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2020.397 6 showed a considerable portion of them had symptoms of depression (634 [50.4%]), anxiety (560 [44.6%]), insomnia (427 [34.0%]), and distress (899 [71.5%]). In fact Nurses, women, frontline health care workers, and those working in Wuhan, China, reported more severe degrees of all measurements of mental health symptoms than other health care workers. Roslan, N. S., Yusoff, M., Razak, A. A., & Morgan, K. (2021) in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 9(1), 90. https://doi.org/10.3390/healthcare9010090 reported burnout prevalence among Malaysian Health Care workers during the Covid pandemic. The highest was personal related (53.8%), followed by work-related ( 39.1%) and patient-related (17.4%). The burnout was attributed to inadequate psychosocial support at work, long hours, direct involvement with COVID-19, inadequate childcare support at home, medical conditions, younger age, being single, having no children, and irregular spirituality routines. There is a dearth of formal local data on the mental health of the female healthcare workers, particularly female. An informal survey involving nurses in a teaching hospital revealed that female nurses often request counselling sessions at work, financial assistance to care for the children whilst they are at work and other forms of financial aid. While not reported there is the possibility of stressors such as verbal and/or physical abuse by spouse, verbal abuse at work and others. CADANGAN 1. Review and improve existing national standard operating procedures (SOP) on crisis management to include psychological, emotional, social and spiritual support to healthcare workers. 2. Provide Accessible Counselling services in all hospitals dealing with COVID patients. Appoint counsellors at the minimum of Gred S41 at 1:50 HCW. Estimated budget is RM6000 for every 100 HCW. (HCW RM2078 and RM 2978 per counsellor, emolument RM 900)

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 136 3. Provide various forms of financial aid: (a) 50% subsidy for B40 and M40 staff to send children to TASKA/nursery. The estimated cost is RM600/mth for infants, RM 400/mth for children aged more than 1 year (b) Welfare fund to support funeral expenses of immediate relatives amounting to RM300 for parents, RM1000.00 for child or spouse; (c) RM 100/child as aid for going to school and RM1000 for entering university/college (d) RM100 reward for anak cemerlang SPM; 4. Provide financial aid for internal internal training and external training at least 4 times per year. Estimated cost per staff is RM480 per year for 4 training courses JENIS CADANGAN: bukan cukai TOPIK: EDUCATION ISU UTAMA: Coping with Home-Based Teaching and Learning (PdPR) Implementation of PdPR for students nationwide is not only a challenge to parents but teachers and students as well as they have to face various issues. This has widened the disparity between the privileged and less-privileged students. Complaints from teachers, that attendance of online classes among students from the “back classes” was quite low. For example, student attendance from the first class is 24 out of a total of 27, while the rate among students from the back classes is six out of 19 people. It was also reported that the secondary school students’ attendance is lower than those of primary school students. Students who are good in their studies will survive while the weak ones will continue to be left behind. In face to face teaching in schools, teachers can motivate students, but when the class is conducted online, a lot depends on the students themselves, their preparation in terms of devices, data plan and self-motivation. Other challenges of online classes include the monitoring of the students’ discipline and focus on their studies. There are students who opened two windows or applications on their laptop screen – one for online class and the other for online games. The support in ensuring the wellbeing and addressing the needs of the students should be in place to lessen their worries and anxieties. To be under lockdown for a long time would certainly affect the students physically and emotionally. The new norm of not going to school or universities and not meeting their friends and teachers or lecturers would certainly have an impact on these students. Moreover, their mental well being will be much affected if they feel that they are not performing in their studies as well as they used to or they have difficulties in engaging in online classes due to non availability of the internet or devices that are required.

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 137 The quality of teaching will definitely be impacted. There are also claims that teachers are not adequately prepared to teach using the PdPR approach hence disrupting the learning process. For students and researchers in the science stream, online classes simply cannot replace face-to-face teaching, laboratory work and research. Thus, ongoing research of postgraduate students will be compromised. When research involves organisms, with the MCO, some of their organisms may not survive. For research work that are dependent on seasonal changes, it would also mean that researchers have to delay their research for possibly a year. National Parents-Teacher Associations Consultative Council (PIBGN) president Associate Prof Datuk Dr Mohd Ali Hassan said that relevant training could be introduced to existing teachers to expose them to PdPR methods and processes. As this PdPR is relatively new, all parties must understand the current situation by providing adequate space and opportunities for teachers to be truly skilled in implementing PdPR. It was also suggested by the National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) president, Aminuddin Awang that in the future, PdPR should be included in the curriculum of teaching courses at the institute of teacher education (IPG) and also the institute of higher learning (IPT). CADANGAN 1. For parents and students: a. Provide gadgets for PdPR for parents or students in B40 group and rural areas b. Provide RM1000/household incentives and tax exemption to purchase gadgets for PdPR 2. For teachers and lecturers: a. Allocate RM3000/teacher or lectuer to train them on on-line learning (including psychosocial support) and retrain them in science courses, teaching students in classes for national examinations, assessment methods and lecturers (MOHE) in small group teaching (discussion and group work) b. Provide RM1000/person as incentives or tax exemption to purchase gadgets for online teaching 3. For schools: a. Allocate RM100 million to improve infrastructure and changes to school to meet the SOP and Safety guidelines. Appropriate approaches need to be worked out for different areas to achieve

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 138 optimal management success. Thus autonomy and empowerment should be given to the District Education Office (PPD) and schools, with advice from the District Health Office to make modifications to the educational process, curriculum management and delivery. b. Allocate RM 20 million to Develop Child Friendly School Guidelines, materials and awareness training to ensure students are psychologically and emotionally stable, particularly during pandemic and to address sexual harassment c. Allocate RM40,000/school to implement Child Friendly guidelines 4. For universities and colleges: a. allocate RM50 billion for administrative costs, infrastructure improvement and changes to meet the SOP on online teaching and Safety guidelines. b. Review of curriculum for use of digital technology and applications for online teaching JENIS CADANGAN: bukan cukai TOPIK: EDUCATION ISU UTAMA: Availability and Accessibility to Connectivity Not all students enjoy unlimited internet access or possess laptops or desktops that allow them to attend online classes freely. The Internet Users Survey 2018 conducted by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, for example, found that there is a sizeable disparity between urban and rural internet users. Urban users make up for 70.0 % Internet users. Coverage and speed of internet also vary depending on one’s budget and location. Hence, it is likely that some students, especially those who reside in rural areas, do not enjoy internet access, or sufficiently good internet access, the way most of their peers who live in urban areas do. These students run a high risk of being left behind if classes are entirely conducted online. Many reported incidences where students have to climb up trees, walk up a distance of 5 km up the hill and be in the middle of a bridge just to find the good access of the internet for their online classes. Some have to borrow or rely on their friends’ or relatives’ phone or computers so that they can attend these classes. Seeking means for an internet signal and access, would have exposed to unnecessary risks whenever students go out of their houses. This is shown on several accidents happened due to these activities. It was reported that eight Sabah school students who gathered at their usual spot on a suspension bridge to get internet access narrowly escaped death after falling 18 metres

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 139 when the bridge collapsed. A student of a school in Larut, Perak was seriously injured in an accident while out to get telecommunication network access for her home-based teaching and learning (PdPR) session. In reality, there are many aspects have to be considered by educators especially in PdPR activities. There are various categories of students. Some have devices and internet access; some have only devices without internet access; others have devices and internet access but have to take turns with other siblings or waiting for the parents to return from work because they need to borrow the phone while some do not have anything. Not every student has a personal gadget to use for online learning. Many of them are sharing the laptops and computers with their parents, sisters/ brothers to stay on track. Based on the Survey of Household Income 2016, it was found out that 0.3% of households in the rural areas do not have access to electrical power. Students living in these houses would surely not able to access to any online platform of PdPR as well those broadcasted in televisions CADANGAN: 1. Provide RM100,000 per Parliamentary constituency for equipment and staff to ensure internet connectivity for parents, students and teachers 2. Allocate RM50 million to upgrade 873 Pusat Internet Komuniti from 1GB to 10 GB to support e-learning and to increase the number of PIK to 3/kampong. 3. Under MDEB T4S1: Integrate digital skills into education at primary and secondary level. 4. Allocate RM50 billion to ensure effective sourcing and delivery of energy by developing alternative systems such as solar hybrid, mini and pico hydro supported by off-grid networks to ensure wider coverage. 5. Speed up the Rural Electricity Supply programme, focussing on offgrid generation for remote and isolated areas. TOPIK: TARGETTED ASSISTANCE FOR AFFECTED GROUPS ISU UTAMA: Lower earnings and increasing poverty The number of poor households increased to 639.8 thousand households in 2020 as compared to 405.4 thousand households in 2019. The incidence of absolute poverty also increased from 5.6 per cent (2019) to 8.4 per cent. The incidence of hardcore poverty is estimated to increase from 0.4 per cent (2019) to 1.0 per cent which involved 78.0 thousand households (2019: 27.2 thousand households). It has been shown that 20.0 per cent of households from the M40 group with income between

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 140 RM4,850 and RM10,959 has slipped to the B40 group (more than 600,000 household in the M40 has slipped into B40). In 2020, there was an additional of 12.5 per cent of households with income less than RM2,500. The median of monthly household gross income also registered a decline of negative 11.3 per cent as compared to 2019. The value of median of monthly household gross income in 2020 was RM5,209 (2019: RM5,873). There were 742,700 unemployed in mid- April 2021 The number of foreign labour force in June 2021 continued to increase for the third month, thereby recorded an addition of 58.8 thousand persons (0.8%) to 7.46 million persons (May 2021: 7.40 million persons). CADANGAN 1. Allocate RM10 million to develop or enhance an integrated data management system to cover existing B40, newly B40 (20% of the M40, >600,000 households) and those who raised the ‘white flags.

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 141 TOPIK: TARGETTED ASSISTANCE FOR AFFECTED GROUPS ISU UTAMA: Empowerment programmes targeted at families that have either one spouse or both who have lost their job or those with reduced household income, victims of abuse, elderly women and high-risk families. The financial strain placed on those who have lost their job, have put a terrific strain on both parents’ and children’s mental health and wellbeing. The largest category of outside labour force was due to the housework/ family responsibilities which comprised of 47.3 per cent. Many victims of domestic violence are confined with their abusers with little or no support. Even where support is available through helplines or digital platforms, many are unable to access it due to limited privacy or lack of digital connection The healthy status of mental health and wellbeing of the women, men and individuals are important as they reduce vulnerability to financial and employment insecurity. CADANGAN 1. Allocate RM6,000,000 or RM500,000/community x 12 communities (1 community per state as pilot project) to enhance existing Community Empowerment Programs with the incorporation of Resilience element (resilient, strong families) in the areas of family economic and wellbeing (family relationship, psychosocial support and services, digital literacy) towards the formation of Empowered, Resilient and Self-Sufficient Communities, specifically. a.

Although there is coverage, but, under lockdown, there is a lack of equipment for within the households for WFH as well as for students’ education. The delivery of education for children studying from home is an issue, especially for those in the rural areas and densely populated urban areas. The lack of equipment is a known problem. From an affordability standpoint, there are already multiple packages in the market from as low as RM10 per month but there is a limitation of data around 10GB per month. This makes it affordable but still inadequate.

With technology adoption, technology will complement high skilled workers who rely largely on creative thinking and problem solving. OECD Employment Outlook 2020 Report indicates that fewer younger workers are entering middle-skill jobs than older workers leaving them. Covid-19 pandemic requires a higher level of adaptation, innovation and invention of digital technology. The present and future workforce (students) need appropriate competencies especially in Data Science Analytics ( DSA). CADANGAN Allocate budget ( 3 million for lower and upper Secondary Schools; RM 4 million for tertiary level to develop the curriculum for training digital talents and RM10 million for training. The curriculum is intended to produce talents such as Data Steward, Data Engineer, Data Scientist and Functional Analyst. It should cover competencies such as Domain Knowledge, Data Governance, Operational Analytics, Data Visualization, Research methods, Data Engineering, Statistical Techniques, Methods & Algorithms, Computing and 21st Century Skills TOPIK: WOMEN AND SOCIOECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT ISU UTAMA: access to procurement opportunities by SMEs which are women-owned and registered businesses (about 20% of SMEs in Malaysia) as well as clearly defined companies with at least 51% shareholding by a woman and the Managing Director/ CEO is a woman, majority of Directors must be woman – ePerolehan. Public procurement plays a significant role in the economic development of Malaysia. In 2016, RM78 billion was spent on procurement. This comprised of 31% of gross public expenditure (combining development and operating spending), accounting for about 6% of GDP However Women entrepreneurs have been largely excluded from this sizeable market due to lack of access to information on bids, understanding of procedures and ability to meet requirements. Government (GLCs) are not buying from women entrepreneurs because there is no indicator of whether a business is owned or managed by women There isn’t a gender responsive policy that would create an enabling environment for women to gain access and navigate the government procurement system.

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 144 There is no data of how many contracts have been awarded to women owned businesses. CADANGAN Government procurement offers a unique, fiscally responsible route to empower women, combat poverty and promote inclusive economic growth. As both market regulator and participant, Government is in a unique position to change this and benefit from enlarging the pool of potential suppliers. Government should : 1. Allocate RM500,000 to ePerolehan and SSM to identify the sectors and categories (catering, supply of goods, services etc.) to add companies with women shareholding. 2. Allocate RM500,000 to update tender regulations and to add indicators for women-owned businesses and relevant reports and allocate while benchmarking: How countries like US set 2% allocations to WOB. Walmart allocates 10% of shelf space to WOB 3. Provide tax incentives to encourage hypermarket/ supermarkets to allocate shelf space (subsidized listing fee) for WOB 4. Allocate RM30,000 to carry out 10 focus group sessions of 20 women to define clearly the definition of WOB JENIS CADANGAN: bukan cukai TOPIK: WOMEN AND SOCIOECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT ISU UTAMA: HARDEST HIT: WOMEN MICROENTERPRISES AND INFORMAL SECTOR comprising micro women entrepreneurs, women who are underbanked or unbanked, women who are ‘’blacklisted’’ but not of their own doing (for e.g. guarantors of loans), women who run a business that generate daily revenue but do not have savings or limited cash flow Micro-enterprises constitute 77% of all SMEs and 78.7% of business formations (Economic Census, 2019). The Economic Census (2019) also shows that about 65% of Malaysia’s total employment is provided by microSMEs. The Census of Establishments and Enterprises in 2019 shows almost 19.7 percent of SMEs were women-owned firms. 87.9% of women-owned SMEs were owner-operated micro-enterprises. In Malaysia, the population of the unbanked stood at 8% or two million of the country’s 24 million adults, according to Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) in its Financial Stability and Payment Systems Report 2017. Globally, women make up 55% of the world’s unbanked population, meaning they have no access to banking or insurance products. For many of these almost 1 billion women globally who have no access to financial services, it means that their money is not protected, they have no access to savings or

Allocate RM 7.5 million (RM150,000 per CSO for 50 entrepreneurs; creation of 50 CSOs which will service 2,500 entrepreneurs total) to empower communities or (CSO) through partnership and training of key leaders - Benchmark Kiva.org - Specify the structure & process to manage the selection and disbursement as well as repayment tracking - Profile the beneficiaries and track the impact JENIS CADANGAN: bukan cukai TOPIK: WOMEN AND SOCIOECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT ISU UTAMA: DIGITAL POVERTY among Women owned registered business, women in the informal sector and Homepreneurs The pandemic impact on businesses requires them to pivot their business that is now reliant on digital services. At the same time there is difficulty in getting loans to digitalize business from banks - automation e.g. pc, server. Women has difficulty raising 50% for the SME Corp matching grant without existing collaterals. The guidelines are too stringent and don’t factor in the lived realities of small businesses. The cost of financing interest of 7 to 8 % term loan in the SME Lady programme is too high. The informal sectors need help in financing to build the basic digital branding, marketing, training.

It is a unique aspect

NCWO Biennial Report 2021-2022 147 of Malaysian culture and lifestyle but Hawkerpreneurs are dying slowly. Transforming traditional hawker/staff food into a franchisable business, principally within the context of Malaysia will be a success according to Dr Daniel Ka Leong and Prof Marcus L. Stephenson in their research paper Deciphering Food Hawkerpreneurship: Challenges and Success Factors in Franchising Street Food Businesses in Malaysia, April 2020). Recently, there is a new movement concerned with revitalising traditional hawker food in Malaysia and transforming it into a more entrepreneurial and franchisable entity. Problem Statement: • Exploring the Unknown - challenging beginnings due to unfamiliarity with the new business model • Women are not able to secure high capital investment for total ‘make-over’. • Lack of knowledge in brand repositioning among woman on Hawkerpreneurship. • Woman’s resistance to automation and standardization, particularly as a way to retain authenticity in food. CADANGAN Allocate RM 2.5 million for Transforming traditional hawker/stall food into a franchisable business. The objectives are to: • Develop hawker/Stall centres as the nation's “community dining rooms” and that preserving hawker culture “will help to safeguard and promote this unique culture for future generations”, while also letting “the rest of the world know about our local food and multicultural heritage”. • provide a platform for low -income women, single mothers (B40) and disadvantaged women from all walks of life to do business and generate income for themselves and their families with a mission to produce confident and sustainable women entrepreneurs in line with a vision of the country. • Guide and train woman on how to start, sustain, manage, upgrade or grow their business for a better life. • Provide opportunities for marginalized women such as ex -prisoners and others to run businesses and generate income. • Commercialize this project as a business opportunity to all Malaysian women who are not targeted collectively - provide opportunities for other women to participate in the ‘WOMEN'S STALLS’ business with the concept of free licensing under one brand. This project has the concept of 75% grants obtained from contributions from the public, corporate companies or government agencies, or from other foundations or NGOs who want to participate and another 25% capital is from the participants themselves or loans from the financial institution which will be assisted by the NCWO/NGOs to obtain it.
