What the ministers’ wives wear under scrutiny

WIVES of certain Muslim Cabinet ministers wear clothes that are too revealing, said straight-talking Johor delegate Datuk Rahimah Idris.

“There are people going around in clothes that exposed three quarters of their bodies,” Rahimah said, adding she had seen a picture in a newspaper of one such wife not properly dressed for a funeral.

Rahimah also said drug addicts should be marooned on an island instead of allowing them the hotel-like luxuries at rehabilitation centres.

“Let them survive on the island's worms and moss.”

She said there were too many foreign dramas with bad elements that distracted women from their chores.

Rahimah said someone from Umno should be heading the Energy, Water and Communications Ministry and monitoring these dramas instead of Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik.

“There are many of us in Umno who can lead the ministry,” she added.
