Whilst Prof. James Chin from the University of Tasmania joked that there’s a pre-requisite of being Male, Malay and Muslim to be the Prime Minister of Malaysia, just how much truth is there to this? Should we be electing our officials based on their personality, and what are the chances of Malaysia ever having a female leader?

We speak with Adib Zalkapli, Director at Bower Group Asia and Faridah Hameed, Political Communication & Leadership coach, to help us explore some of these burning questions.
