No wonder it is said that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Groups slam MPs for making sexist ‘joke’ against women (Star May 12th 2007), highlights the gross misconduct of 2 so-called parlimentarians who is allowed to go unpunished by the House Speaker. Responding to an issue concerning leaks in government buildings, 2 backbenchers, the "distinguished gentlemen" for Jasin and Kinabatangan made a completely distasteful remark on women's menstrual cycle: "member for Batu Gajah also leaks once a month".
How can any Malaysian women allow them to get away with this? Vote these 2 sexists out. They turn a valid issue on poor maintenance of government buildings into a farcical circus. Word play? Come on.
The sad thing is that women politicians from the ruling party hardly made a dent in their protests. Wanita UMNO and Wanita MCA demonstrated clearly why they are bullied and received no respect from their male counterparts. If they do not raise their fists and bang on tables, it is likely their dignity as MPs and assumed leaders of Malaysian women will continued to be trampled on by our oh so refined gentlemen MPs.
Malaysia Boleh!
