[The Rocket] Politics – Fairer Half To The Fore

Post-March 2008 a new political landscape has evolved, especially for women’s involvement in politics. Serdang Member of Parliament and DAP assistant publicity secretary Teo Nie Ching has experienced these changes firsthand, having been a beneficiary of this new wave in politics. Yet she also knows of the many challenges a woman elected representative faces in her quest to serve the constituents and the nation. She tells the Rocket’s T.K Tan why:


What do women want, politically speaking? A loaded question for many perhaps, but Teo sees it with clarity.

“It depends on the women’s age and marital status. If they are before 30 years old and single, their concerns would centre on job opportunities and social mobility prospects,” Teo started.

“For the married ones, naturally their families and family-related issues would be their top concern. Quality education for their children, childcare amenities and related benefits, basic amenities and necessities comes to mind. But regardless of these different concerns, often the common worries are public safety and being treated with dignity at home and in the workplace. Domestic violence and rapes are tragically a frequent occurrence in Malaysia.”

Teo, a trained lawyer, states that the available forms of legal protection for and treatment of women in Malaysia are grossly insufficient. “As an example, sexual harassment; Malaysia has yet to enact a comprehensive sexual harassment legislation as of 2011. It is only covered in parts in the Penal Code, Employment Act 1955, and the Industrial Relations Act 1967,’ she remarked.

“Another aspect of legal neglect we can see is regarding job compensation, namely the concept of ‘equal job, equal pay’. Many would not dispute that women in Malaysia do most of the hard work, yet get paid less compared with their male counterparts. This ‘equal pay for work of equal value by women’ concept has been practised in the UK since 1970. Unfortunately for us, Malaysia has yet to even consider enacting it,” Teo expounded.
