KUALA LUMPUR: A Pakatan Harapan MP has asked the government to explain its efforts to “combat the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender phenomenon” following the recent International Women's Day march.

Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali (PH-Bagan Serai) claims that HIV cases have increased due to LGBT practices, including “men having sex with men”.

“This is unnatural lust and should never be accepted. We want to know the actions taken by the government to curb LGBT practices,” he said while debating the motion of thanks to the Royal Address on Monday (March 18).

“It is like building a home with a beautiful front door. It has a beautiful door, we decorate it, paint it and it smells good. We need to enter through the front door, not the back door. The back door is dirty and smelly,” he added.

During his debate, Ahmad Fadhli Shaari (PAS-Pasir Mas) called for the immediate prosecution of those involved in the LGBT rally during the recent International Women’s Day celebration in Kuala Lumpur.

He agreed with Dr Noor that such a lifestyle could lead to HIV infections.

“Don’t sweep the matter under the carpet. Eventually, no action is taken,” he said.
