MCA blasts 'distasteful remarks' used in ministry's promo video


PETALING JAYA: MCA has slammed the 'distasteful remarks' on women used in a Women, Family and Community Development Ministry promotional video and criticised Datuk Seri Rina Harun for condoning actor Datuk Rosyam Nor's actions and not stopping and educating him when he said it.

While the full recording of Rosyam's lines provide better context on how he made his remarks, Wanita MCA chief Datuk Heng Seai Kie said that his jokes were crass and only affirm long-held condescending gender profiling of women.
