Said refuses to apologise
THERE will not be any apology from Jasin MP Datuk Mohd Said Yusof over his remark to Batu Gajah MP Fong Poh Kuan, reported China Press.
Mohd Said was quoted as saying that he did not need to apologise because his bocor tiap-tiap bulan juga (leaks every month, too) statement did not mean a woman’s period.
Mohd Said and his colleague Kinabatangan MP Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin have come under fire for saying in the Dewan Rakyat that Fong also “leaked every month.”
“Who says that it means the menstruation cycle? Bocor can be translated into different things.
“Besides the leaks in the Parliament building, it can also mean to urinate.
“Apologise to Fong Poh Kuan? What is there to apologise for? I did not mean to offend her or other women,” he said when contacted by the daily on Saturday.
He said he was referring to the ceiling leaks in the Parliament building.
Fong, when contacted, said Mohd Said was deceiving himself and others.
“The two MPs did not deny or say I misunderstood them when I filed the motion,” she added.
> Sin Chew Daily reported that consumers would be able to enjoy cheaper pork as the price of pork had dropped from RM3.60 per kilo to RM3.30 from yesterday.
Federation of Livestock Farmers Associations of Malaysia’s pig unit chairman Tung Hong Chai said pig farmers were facing difficulties because of declining prices. The cost of a 100kg pig is between RM550 and RM600.
“Many pig farmers have told us that they are no longer able to manage,” he said.
Tung said the federation had called for a meeting on Thursday to discuss the issue.
