Bocor-ites

Star Online - New Zealand PM says she’s having a baby (extracts):

WELLINGTON: New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced Friday she is expecting her first baby in June, making her the country’s first leader to give birth while in office.

The 37-year-old, who took office in October, said the pregnancy was “unexpected but exciting” for her and partner Clarke Gayford.

“We’re both really happy. We wanted a family but weren’t sure it would happen for us,” she said in a statement.

The charismatic leader enjoyed a meteoric rise last year, winning office just months after taking the helm of the centre-left Labour Party.

Jacinta Arden is so lucky she's not in the Malaysian Parliament because we have a few otak-kotor politicians who like to disparage women, especially on women's feminine characteristics.

Bung Mokhtar Radin
one of UMNO's original 'Bocor-ites'

On 11 May 2007, according to Malaysiakini, Bung Mokhtar Radin and Mohd Said Yusof, both from UMNO, made mind boggling sexist remarks about DAP Fong Po Kuan’s menstrual cycle in Parliament.

Both slimy sexist simians did not deny making the unbelievable comments.

Sadly, no lady MP from BN protested against their unparliamentary intrusive insults. Those BN ladies must have been meditating in elegant silence, probably on Shahrir Samad's dismissal as Chairman of the Backbenchers Club when he supported the DAP's motion to refer (apparently a very powerful) Mohd Said Yusof, MP for Jason, to the Committee of Privileges for the latter's 'close-one-eye' proposal to Customs.

But when Fong, the lady directly insulted by those crude crass comments called for a motion under the Standing Order 26 (1P) to refer the two BN MPs to the Committee of Privileges, predictably Speaker Ramli Ngah Talib dismissed the motion.

Is there no shame in that Monkey House? (apologies to all real simians, not those wannabes)

Malaysiakini reported:

Fong expressed her regret over the decision: “I feel sad that no BN woman MP in the Dewan just now voiced their objection to the comments that were insulting to all women.”

DAP MP Teresa Kok said the matter was not new:

“Each time a gender sensitive issue comes out … each time derogatory remarks were made against women, there is no action taken by the speaker.”

Lim said, “The Kinabatangan MP (Mokhtar) behaved as though he has no mother, or daughters or sisters. And the BN can thump unashamedly at the rejection of the motion on technical ground.”
