Ming is a dedicated advocate on women’s issues and spoke about the complexity surrounding maternity leave in a chat with Financy here.
When women go on maternity leave, people assume they have no ambition and have gone into some black hole. The way I explain it, women who decide to take maternity leave are learning very important skills, such as time management.
Many are doing their job on two hours sleep and juggling. They are also influencing, educating, and mentoring. There are so many skills these women are learning.

In another interview with SBS News she addressed barriers to cultural diversity.
We see so few women (in leadership) in general because I think the stereotype (that) we make assumptions about are the position of women in society.
When you add the intersection of ethnic or cultural diversity into someone’s gender, it makes it twice as hard because the expectation is even stronger that she shouldn’t have these roles.
