Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor has come under fire from Pakatan Rakyat's women parliamentarians for comparing property values with that of cosmetics for women, and they want him to undergo "gender education".

pkr wanita agm 240513 04 zuraida PKR's Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin ( left ) and DAP's Seputeh MP Teresa Kok made the call in separate statements today.

" Tengku Adnan is severely in need of gender education, judging from his analogy equating women with landed property," Zuraida said, while stating that she can only "imagine the amount of make-up worn by his family members".

"Is Tengku Adnan a cosmetics salesman or a minister?" she asked.

Kok, the national DAP vice-chairperson, said that it was “necessary” to give Tengku Adnan a course in “gender sensitivity”.

“With his latest off-colour analogy, I must say that Tengku Adnan is the most confused minister in cabinet, one who can't even differentiate human beings with properties,” Kok said.

“Women are not properties, they don't tag with a price. The property valuation hike carried out by DBKL cannot be likened to women with make-up. These two are not comparable,” she added.

Kok also told Tengku Adnan to retract his remars and to offer an apology to the women in the country.
