Seputeh MP Teresa Kok may be against him, but Umno deputy minister Tajuddin Abdul Rahman said many women still love him.

Pressured again by the media to explain his controversial remark against Kok, Tajuddin said he did so because the DAP lawmaker was disturbing him in the House.

"I was trying to answer (questions) and she went 'kekekeke'. What kind of behaviour is that?" Tajuddin said when met in the Parliament lobby.

He also said that Kok did the offending act without turning her microphone on.

Tajuddin had on Monday said: "Why is Seputeh going 'kekekeke'. The only woman with a 'Kok' is in Seputeh."

This caused an uproar, but it was ruled that the deputy agriculture and agro-based industries minister was referring to Kok's surname.

Asked if he had made the remark because Kok offended him, Tajuddin said he did not like being disturbed.

He also defended the additional remark as a harmless reference to her surname, and said it was not a slip of the tongue either.

Tajuddin earlier denied that he was a misogynist.

"If I am so bad, abuse women, ladies, nobody will support me.

"But you come to my place (Pasir Salak), all the girls, the women, young and old, love me," he said.

He added that he had been receiving supportive messages from women in the Pasir Salak Umno division.

Tajuddin said this in another heated exchange with the media over the "Kok row".

Not afraid of the media

The Umno supreme council member repeatedly took aim at Malaysiakini, accusing portal of being biased against the government.

However he said he was not afraid of the media.

Earlier in the House, the opposition failed in another bid to censure Tajuddin.

Deputy speaker Ronald Kiandee pointed out that he had already made a ruling on Monday that the deputy minister was referring to Kok's surname.

Therefore he urged the opposition to file a motion as required by the standing orders, in order to review his ruling.

The opposition protested that this motion would end up at the back of the queue on the order paper.

Ronald however said that such a motion can't be fast tracked by the speaker because the standing orders don't allow it.
