Bung Moktar Radin (BN-Kinabatangan) again courted controversy in Parliament today after hurling a sexist comment at Teresa Kok (DAP-Seputeh).

 

When debating the Malaysian Airline System Berhad (Administration) 2014 Bill, Bung had complained about airport security conducting body checks with their hands.

 

Bung said he was not comfortable with body checks but was okay if airport security wanted to touch Kok.

 

"I don't want them to touch ( pegang ) me because I am sensitive. When they touch me, it's like they're groping ( raba ).

 

"Even our privates are also groped. How can (they do that)? If they hold me even once, I will sue them.

 

"I want to inform MAS, don't touch me! I don't want! If they touch Seputeh, maybe can, but not me," he said.

Later, Kok ( right ) told Malaysiakini she did not rebut when Bung made the remarks as the speaker was rushing him to wind up his speech as the sitting, which is in the last day today, is expected to go beyond midnight.

However, she said the incident showed Bung was unrepentant despite previously earning brickbats when he told former Batu Gajah MP Fong Po Kuan in Parliament that she was “leaking every month”.

“Obviously he has not learned his lesson and cannot change his sexist attitude.

“He is an embarrassment to the Parliament and BN. The prime minister should take disciplinary action against him,” she said.
