Bocor Case: Did the 2 MPs apologise to the Victim?

Nazri said the Bocor incident (2 MPs likened the leak in the parliament building to a Lady MP's menstrual cycle - that she also leak once a month) that would not damage Malaysia's reputation as he is confident that the people and the international community are mature enough to differentiate between remarks by 2 individuals and a systemic problem of sexism.

Nazri, we have more than 2 sexist remarks in the parliament.

In 1995, MP for Jerai Badruddin Amiruldin said: “Like wanita putus haid (like a woman reaching menopause).

In 2000, Mohamed Aziz, the MP for Sri Gading said in parliament: “Its unusual for women’s issues to be touched by men” suppose to be touched by men.”

In 2001, Bung Mokhtar the MP for Kinabatangan posed a quip in parliament: “Boleh masuk sikit?” (Can Iput in a little more)

In 2005, MO for Jerai Badruddin said in parliament: “Asked a fellow parliamentarian if he knows how long Fong Po Kuan’s marriage would last”.

There is also similar worldwide condemnation of such cynical sexiest remarks made by MPs.

In Japan, welfare minister Yanagisawa equated women to "child-bearing machines."
Both Abe and Yanagisawa apologized for the welfare minister's remark(Jan 27, 2007)

In Australia, Senator Heffernan said sorry to Ms Gillard for saying she was "deliberately barren" and unfit for leadership.

Oh, by the way Encik Nazri, the international community is matured enough to differentiate and would never accept such craps and nuisance from elected representatives. It is only Malaysian govt and cabinet ministers who had tolerated such abuse and misuse of power and legal immunity.

Typical of Nazi. Yes, we also regretted BN had more than 2/3 majority in the 2004 GE performance. We will make sure we won't regret next time!

It's the Malaysian Standard.

The Abdullah administration is by far the worse in Malaysian history. It's a hell of a regret for Malaysian voters. A recent survey of 22 countries on the quality of public services also put Malaysia on the ranking 14th placing while Singapore topped the chart. So is the government also regretted giving the pay rise?

It's a whole string of regrets, a series of regrets. And probably lots more in future when mat armpit takes the chair.

Nazri should apologise for defending the two guilty parties.

No wonder there are so many rape cases in this country, even the wakil rakyat disrespect the female.
