New 'bocor' remark causes ruckus in Dewan Rakyat


KUALA LUMPUR: The word "bocor", once used by a male MP in a sexist remark in 2007, again triggered a ruckus in the Dewan Rakyat when Datuk Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim (pic) (BN – Baling) used it to refer to a woman’s menstrual cycle.

Abdul Azeez was debating the second reading for the Sedition (Amendment) Bill 2015 when he linked the word "bocor" (leakages) to a woman’s period.
