Following are the highlights of the 2012 Budget tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who is also Finance Minister, at the Dewan Rakyat yesterday:
The Government recognizes the potential of women in leadership and managerial skills. Accordingly, the Government introduced a policy to encourage at least 30% women in top management and decision-making positions in the corporate sector. The Government will organise advanced management programmes for women with potential to become members of the board of directors, intensify advocacy activities for greater participation of women in the corporate sector and develop a database of potential women directors. Suitable training programmes to encourage female professionals to return to work will also be conducted. To implement these training programmes, the Government will allocate RM10mil.
A sum of RM13.6 billion is allocated to the social sector including education and training, health, welfare, housing and community development.
