  • Women Left Behind? Closing the Gender Gap in Malaysia (PDF
    Malaysia Women Left Behind? Closing the Gender Gap in Malaysia Beatrice Fui Yee LIM I. Introduction II. The women’s involvement in Malaysian economy III. Characteristics of female labor force in Malaysia IV. Factors affecting gender pay gap V. Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) VI. Policies to close gender gap VII. Conclusion I. Introduction The involvement of Malaysian women in all spheres of life has become more visible over the years. This is primarily contributed by the advancement of women in education. In Malaysia, female educational attainment has increased substantially in the post-independence era. Female adult literacy increased from 61.3% in 1980 to 90.8% in 2010 (UNESCO 2016). In Malaysia, both boys and girls enjoy equal opportunity and access to education. Affordable education bridged gender disparities in primary and secondary education (UNICEF 2019). Several important reforms took place in the Malaysian educational system which led to increased equality and equity in education opportunities. In 1970, a significant reform took place in the education system where the Malay language was introduced as the official medium of instruction in all government schools. The change was implemented at the tertiary level in the mid-1980s.1 This reform was an important tool to integrate the multiracial society as well as to eradicate the poverty addressed in the New Economic Policy (NEP). The reform increased access to education especially for rural Malays whose native tongue was the Malay language (Ismail 2007). In the 1990s, the mounting demand for local tertiary education in the 1990s eventually led to a reform of the tertiary education system in Malaysia which included the privatisation of tertiary education institutions.

  • Bank Lending Determinants: Evidence from Malaysia Commercial Banks
    Journal of Banking and Finance Management Volume 1, Issue 3, 2018, PP 36-48 Bank Lending Determinants: Evidence from Malaysia Commercial Banks Azira Abdul Adzis, Lee Eng Sheng, Juhaida Abu Bakar Department of Banking and Risk Management, School of Economics, Finance and Banking, University Utara Malaysia, Malaysia *Corresponding Author: Azira Abdul Adzis, Senior Lecturer, School of Economics, Finance and Banking, Universiti Utara Malaysia, [email protected] ABSTRACT This study investigates the bank specific and macroeconomic determinants of commercial bank lending in Malaysia using a sample of 27 banks covering the period from 2005 to 2014. This study also examines the impact of macro prudential policy measure implemented in 2010 on the lending activities of Malaysian commercial banks. Employing random effects estimation, the findings demonstrate that bank size and volume of deposit positively influence commercial bank lending in Malaysia, while liquidity negatively influences the lending activities. With regard to macroeconomic determinants, this study does not find any conclusive evidence to support the influence of gross domestic product (GDP), lending rate and cash reserve requirement on commercial bank lending activities in Malaysia. Moreover, the findings of this study also reveal that the macroprudential policy measure which was implemented in 2010 to curb the high level of household indebtedness does not give any significant impact on lending activities in Malaysia during the study period.
