Tajuddin slammed as women's rights groups say his remarks have no place in august House


PETALING JAYA: Pasir Salak MP Datuk Tajuddin Abdul Rahman's use of profanities in Parliament and his disparaging remarks aimed at women MPs must not be tolerated or allowed in Parliament as it borders misogyny, say civil society groups and women's rights advocates in the country.

Tajuddin went on a tirade on female Opposition lawmakers and even went as far as to call them indecent. He also allegedly uttered an obscenity while debating the Anti-Sexual Harassment Bill on Wednesday (July 20).
