Women in Business, now on air!

Many moons ago, I wrote about the rise of ladies entrepreneur in Malaysia, and today we see another milestone. The sign are so clear, we cannot disregard it. The Star Newspaper reported:

Capital FM 88.9 - Malaysia's first women's radio station to go on air Thursday

By JADE CHAN

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia's first women's radio station Capital FM 88.9 is all set to sizzle the airwaves as it begins its broadcast from 6am Thursday.
Joining the stable of radio stations under Star Radio Group, the all-new Capital FM is the only radio station that provides women a voice and a hub to exchange thoughts and opinions.
Capital FM 88.9 features a handpicked line-up of celebrity presenters, namely Asha Gill, Joanne Kam, Xandria Ooi, Patricia K, Sheela Haran, April Kuan, Joey G and Liang, who will each bring their own flavour to offer different dimensions to the radio station.
Targeted at urban women in the Klang Valley aged between 25-35, the station aims to be a platform for women's issues.
"Capital FM has been tailored to meet the needs of women. To be a friend and confidante. Women empowering women in their daily lives,” said Star Radio Group deputy chief broadcasting officer C.K. Tan.
"Our driving goal is to connect with women by addressing their emotional and intellectual needs, to enhance the quality of their lives and their communities."
Star Radio Group chairman and Star Publications (M) Bhd group managing director/CEO Ho Kay Tat credited Capital FM's unique tagline Women - The New Capital - to Star Publications (M) Bhd executive deputy chairman Datuk Vincent Lee, who coined it as a tribute to and in recognition of the value and importance of women.

The success of this radio station will depend on the kind of values they instill in the womenfolks in Malaysia. I hope that it serves to eliminate the prejudice that existed in both men and women, letting people focus more on living better, peaceful and prosperous.

The only thing I don'd like is the tagline " Women - The New Capital". As I see it, women has always, always been a very significant capital since the beginning of mankind, since the beginning of trade. I was merely hidden away, not prominent. In Islam, Prophet Muhammad's wife, the love of his life, Khadijah was a WEALTHY businesswomen who had employed the greatest man that ever lived. And you don't call that capital? Women should give more credit to women.

Work Smart Everyone.
