Over the years, the People's Action Party has had female politicians in Parliament, but on the 1st of April 2009, history will be made as Singapore will have its first female full minister.
Mrs Lim Hwee Hua (picture above) will become a Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, as well as Second Minister in both the Finance and Transport ministries. It will be very interesting to see what she will do in the future, don't you think?
Another piece of news that involves capable women is the team of 6 Singaporean women who are attempting to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth. Its summit is 8,848 metres above sea level. The mountain, which is part of the Himalaya range in High Asia, is located on the border between Sagarmatha Zone in Nepal, and Tibet.
The 6 women (picture below) have been training for the last 5 years so that they will be ready to climb the mountain. They left on the 21st of March and you can follow their progress from this site . Let's cheer them on!
How do you feel about the appointment of Singapore's first full female minister and the first all-women Singaporean team to reach Mount Everest's summit?

We feel very proud of the 6 women who are climbing Mount Everest because they have shown us women can also rise up to challenges. They are very confident and brave.
It is good for a woman to be a minister because women think differently from men.
