KUALA LUMPUR: New education minister Fadhlina Sidek aims to use her vast experience as a social activist and lawyer to tackle major issues at the ministry, saying she will lend her ear to all stakeholders.

She said she will establish an advisors’ committee to identify and tackle major issues at the ministry, in addition to rearranging plans to improve the country’s education system.

“I will listen to all stakeholders, including teachers, parents and students, as I am an education minister for all,” she told Bernama, adding that her experience as a social activist and lawyer would be very useful in this respect.

Fadhlina’s experience as an activist and lawyer in Islamic family law and child welfare is seen by many as an asset that will help her in discharging her duties as the minister.
