Cheryl Yeoh MaGIC CEO

PETALING JAYA: The brickbats hurled at former Malaysian Global Innovation and Creativity Centre (MaGIC) CEO Cheryl Yeoh after she spoke out about being sexually assaulted illustrates the backlash women face when they decide to complain, say several women’s groups.

Women’s Centre for Change Penang executive director Loh Cheng Kooi said she was “appalled” that people were blaming Yeoh for the incident.
