چکیده    The place of women in decision-making at various strata of living has been a front-burner issue in the current milieu. the population of women in malaysia is almost as equal the population of men. the malaysian women have been found to excel in academic and even professional labour market than the men. thus, they are naturally imbued with the skills and intellectual capabilities to contribute to the malaysian national development. notwithstanding the perceived superiority in the intellectual capability of the malaysian women, the number of women allowed to participate in nation building in the country is abysmally low. researchers have shown that the women have been facing challenges in assuming political positions where they can adequately and practically contribute to national development. the paper is an exploratory legal research. therefore, employing an analysis of both primary and secondary documentary data, the paper investigates the factors that contribute to the inhibition of malaysian women in this regard despite their landmark educational and professional progressions and achievements. the paper argues that malaysia will profit better in its national development and nation building programmes if more women are allowed to participate in national governance. there is, therefore, the need to introduce fresh approaches and perspectives to the current efforts by the malaysian government to ensure that it keeps up with its commitment towards the millennium development goals.
