Another MP in trouble over sexist ‘bocor’ remark

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 (BN- Baling) used it to refer to a woman’s menstrual cycle.

While debating the Sedition (Amendment) Bill 2015 Abdul Azeez linked the word bocor (leak) to a woman’s period. He said that some non-Muslim women “mungkin bocor (may be leaking)” when they visited mosques, using the phrase to refer to a woman menstruating.
