DAP's Bukit Mertajam MP Steven Sim claimed he was stopped from distributing copies of a memorandum from the "Women 4 Maria" group to parliamentarians in the Dewan Rakyat.

"At first I sought the help of the parliamentary staff but was told that if I don't have the permission of the clerk, I have to do it myself.

"So, I decided to spend my break time to distribute the memo to 222 MPs by leaving it on their desks."
