A 12 min interview on Malaysia's only independent business radio station BFM89.9. We discussed Malaysia's political impasse as the Prime Minister and the entire cabinet resigned on Aug 16 following the loss of support of the majority of MPs. These were the questions I was asked:

* 3 things the PM and PN did well and 3 things that could be improved 
* What kind of qualities or values do we need in a head of state in Malaysia specifically?
* Why does Malaysia continue to gravitate towards older male candidates, while other countries go younger? We see how female leadership has been linked to better Covid management? What needs to change?
* Speaking of younger, many foreign leaders in recent years have been very PR savvy, they are great orators, they take to social media well. How important are these skills moving forward?
* Keeping the pandemic in the foreground, what does Malaysia need in its next PM?

The #1 mistake women make in business is that we are so focused on our smallness, that it can consume how we price ourselves. We think the word small means our prices are "small" too.
