KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu says he was misquoted by the media over a remark questioning national diving star Datuk Pandelela Rinong's past experience with sexual harassment.

The Youth and Sports Minister also said sexual harassment is a serious issue and he as a minister was merely trying to get explanation from all angles before taking action.
