Malaysians should not have to put up with MPs of PAS or any MP who likes to drag politics into the gutter.
Why should we have to tolerate misogynistic MPs who time and again have set new lows in the Dewan Rakyat?
In a debate on the health white paper in the Dewan Rakyat, the MP for Kuantan, Wan Razali Wan Nor of PAS, wanted the dress code for women nurses to be changed.
Many of us cannot comprehend the absurdity of Wan Razali turning his personal opinion on nurses’ uniforms into a topic for serious discussion in parliament.
There must have been several other pressing issues more suitable for a meaningful parliamentary debate, but Wan Razali chose to talk about his preference of female uniforms.
He complained that the uniforms worn by many women nurses were too tight and not shariah-compliant.
He may have tried to appear intelligent by participating in the debate, except that the topic chosen only served to show his actual level of intellect. More importantly, would he acknowledge that his criticism of the uniform is, in truth, an assault on women?
