“Indonesia and Malaysia are 2 Islamic countries that are not much different, it's just that in terms of gender equality, Malaysia has started implementing this for a long time. In this case, Malaysia believes that the large quantity and high quality of women in government can increase income per capita / year. But on the other hand, women who work from home and can take good care of their children are also important things to be considered as the main duty of a mother, "he said.
