Dato Ir. Alice Jawan: On Indigenous Women Empowerment (President of SIDS) How it all started? It has been an exciting ride filled with challenges. My stand on work has always been to take a fresh look and to ‘challenge’ management, especially on modernization/ digitalization. I have always challenge myself to ‘made a difference’ when serving in whatever capacity that might be. I started with only planning water supply for a small town, that is Sibu, and meeting the challenges of extending water supply to the rural communities with limited budget. Today, the development planning is state-wide covering water, electricity, and gas distribution to ensure that our target coverage is 100% by the year 2025; and in the process ensuring that no woman or child ever had to carry a pail of water from the river for their household needs. The International Women Day (IWD2021) slogan means several things to me, personally. One of its meaning, which is part of what I strive to do is to ‘made a difference’ or making an impact in whatever that we do. It is also about challenging ourselves to do things outside our norm so that we can achieve different results thus making a difference in lives around us. Greatest challenge in your professional career? Each award that I received recognizes different aspect of my contributions to the communities, and each one is of great personal value. The Malaysia Water Association (MWA) award was one of the honours and ultimate recognitions of my engineering/ professional contribution as a civil engineer for all the ‘sweats’ in my career. It was a great challenge to develop a niche in the water industry. How do you manage your work-life balance? I have always shared that my greatest passions are my family/ my daughter, extending water supply to rural communities, and women works either it is through Sarakup Indu Dayak Sarawak (SIDS) and Methodist Women (MW) at the State and National levels. I am Let us be the ‘light’ and ‘salt’ of our communities, state, and nation. From the Q&A above, needed a biography on Dato Ir.
