Yeoh says men too have been recorded as being victims of sexual harassment at the workplace.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Sexual Ha­­rass­ment Bill will not be tabled in the Dewan Rakyat next month as planned because the results of a just-completed feasibility study are still under scrutiny.

Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Hannah Yeoh (pic) said this was necessary to ensure the proposed Act would be comprehensive and covered a wide scope.
