PETALING JAYA - Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim should apologise for a joke he made to a female student during one of his public dialogues with varsity students recently, says the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance .
“Women see this on a daily basis, and we always have to explain whenever we don’t smile or laugh at the ‘joke’. Seeing DSAI doing it at a larger scale will perpetuate this belief,” she tweeted on Sunday.“Make them understand that this behaviour is not okay. Especially coming from someone with a position of power.
During an event at a university in Negeri Sembilan, the student had asked the Prime Minister about his administration’s plans to tackle the ringgit’s falling value. Mr Anwar responded by praising the student for how well she relayed her questions, and then allegedly said that if he was younger, he would have asked the student for her phone number.
