Qualified as Municipal Council President?
|
Yesterday, a news report said there were many red faces at the Penang Municipal Council meeting on Friday (10.11.2006). Why? I think you know why also, if you not, here is the review:
Newsmen covering the full council meeting at City Hall were shocked to find the closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera zooming onto the thighs of the women journalist instead of the council proceedings.Well, the lady journalist of New Straits Times had lodged a police report after that.
Now, read what the Penang Municipal Council president Datuk Abu Bakar Hassan’s response,
If the dress was not sexy, the incident would not have happened.
“或许衣着不性感，就不会引起偷拍的风波！”
What!? No matter he is JOKING or not, he should not response like this. The young lady journalist is a victim in this case, why she becomes the one to be blamed? I strongly believe that if there is a choice, those journalists will prefer to wear Jean and Shirt to carry out their duties. Those kinds of clothes are much convenient for their outdoor jobs.
Just look the picture below, the young lady journalist showed what she had worn on that day. Is that consider SEXY or too HOT to you?
This is an insultation to women. If he is in the country which practice gender equality; he needs to apology in public no matter he is joking or not.
What’s wrong with a skirt? Can someone draw a UNIVERSAL standard for SEXY clothes? I don’t think that journalist was worn a MINI SKIRT to attend Penang Municipal Council meeting. However, victim sounds like the one should be blamed in this case, it is sad.
He said Penang Municipal Council may apply suits guidelines for those attend the council meeting especially for female in future. Are Malaysians really not CIVILIZED enough to wear their own suits? A mature adult still needs a guideline for his/her suits? Does it means we, Malaysian are not CIVILIZED enough? I’m confused.
What kind of quality of our Municipal councils in whole Malaysia? Who put them in the position? Do Malaysian, voters and tax payers deserve this?
Let’s bet tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you may read the Penang Municipal Council president says the presses are misquoting his statement on that incident.
NO matter he is joking or not, the lady journalist does not deserve that.
