On 29 October 2025, the Secretary General of AIPA had the honor to took part as a panelist in the Women Way Forward (W2F) Conference 2025. Organized by Wanita Industri Binaan Malaysia (WIBM) with the support of the Kementerian Kerja Raya and CIDB Malaysia, the conference offered a valuable avenue to explore how women across ASEAN have evolved from advocates of change to influential leaders shaping policies, practices, and built environments that advance inclusivity, sustainability, and regional collaboration.
