KUALA LUMPUR: Even a goat was not spared from rape, Fuziah Salleh (PH-Kuantan) said while adding that it was irrational to blame victims of rape for their dressing.

"A 74-year-old grandmother was also raped, as was a five-year-old child and a teenage boy," she said while debating the Sexual Harassment Bill in the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday (July 20).
