Langkawi MP Mohd Suhaimi Abdullah has defended his “invitation” for Seputeh MP Teresa Kok to visit the island’s beaches “wearing nothing”, describing it as a provocative answer to an allegedly provocative question.

Berita Harian also quoted the Bersatu lawmaker as urging his critics to not use the incident in the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday as a way to gain publicity for themselves.
