What about the situation in Singapore? I hear you ask (or so I imagine!)
Note:
-Grace Fu as an example of 'women up there' in Singapore. She's the only cabinet minster here, hoding the portfolio The PM's Office
-only 8.3% of listed companies here were helmed by women in 2013, and we are behind Malaysia and Indonesia in this
-family-friendly workplace as a solution to draw more female talents to the top
-the potential problem of imposing a gender quota as a solution to under-representation of women at the top....The 'checkbox exercise' can be a real problem as women will just be picked to satisfy the quota instead of they being in their position due to their true capabilities. Or it could be a case where it becomes a cosmetic exercise -- they are promoted to top positions to give the impression of gender diversity, but real power still lies in the hands of the men
