'Warped mindsets' behind rape jokes, whisky controversies, says Rafidah


PETALING JAYA: Recent controversies over homegrown whisky Timah and making jokes about rape arose because of people with "warped mindsets", says Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz (pic).

The former international trade and industry minister was commenting on the name of local whisky Timah that courted the wrath of PAS and other groups due to its Bahasa Malaysia name as well as actor Fauzi Nawawi who made jokes about rape while on a talk show.
