“As a female Deputy Speaker, I am sure she will be more sensitive on women’s issues and will bridle any MPs who try to make any sexist remarks. We hope that there will be no more sexist remarks in this term and that Azalina will take stern action against this. At the start of today’s meeting, Azhar instructed Abdul Azeez to apologise and retract the remarks, which he did after claiming he was commenting on the dimness of the Dewan Rakyat and not the rival MP when he said “gelap”.
