This article examines why female computer science (CS)/information technology (IT) students outnumber the males in Malaysia. There are many studies that focus on the dwindling number of women interested in pursuing a CS/IT degree, most of which were conducted in Europe and the U.S. Most of these studies have found that women do not view CS as an attractive career option, and that they choose not to continue with computer subjects as often as men do, and they also tend to terminate their training earlier than their male counterparts.
