Setting the precedence for other women, by becoming the first female in charge of the country’s central bank, representing Malaysia in the international fora or being the first Malaysian actress to star alongside superstars in the global stage is quite the feat.
Confidence comes from within, and the success of these women shines right through as they become the first Malaysians to pioneer a new generation of value-driven women. Gone are the days of rigid intellectualism; these women show us that it’s all about staying true to who you are.
Despite being in the scene for decades, they remain humble and professional, carrying themselves with an air of elegance that is never imposing.
Assertiveness and authenticity, resourcefulness and resilience, these role models and industry experts lead with an open heart and a desire to learn. Behind their long list of lifetime achievements are years of hard work, dedication and setbacks. But most of all, faith in themselves and what they do.
