PMTG PAUH The term “housewife”, purportedly uttered by Penang MCA chief Chew Mei Fun to describe PKR candidate Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, seems to have created a storm between MCA and Pakatan Rakyat leaders in Permatang Pauh.

Pakatan leaders called on Chew, a senator, to apologise to all housewives for purportedly criticising them by questioning Wan Azizah’s ability to be an MP when her priorities often are her family, especially her jailed husband and PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim.

However, Chew did not describe Wan Azizah as a “housewife”, although she said the “people were tired” of the PKR president who often seem to represent her family’s interest first and not that of her constituents.
