PETALING JAYA: The unsavoury remark by Langkawi MP Datuk Mohd Suhaimi Abdullah against Seputeh MP Teresa Kok continues to draw flak from social media users.
In the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (Oct 26), Kok had asked if shorts were allowed to be worn in Langkawi.
To this, Mohd Suhaimi responded that he invited Kok to visit Langkawi.
"I want to specially invite YB Seputeh to come. It’s fine even if you’re not wearing anything when you come.
"Why are you asking about wearing shorts then?
"I also forgot to mention that I want to imagine what Seputeh wears to Langkawi," he said.

On X, user @krueldh said: “Sexual harassment di dalam dewan! All time low MP ni."
User @missing_itaewon pointed out that the sanctity of Parliament should be respected.
@Sauffie_84 said this happened because Mohd Suhaimi was a first-time MP.
“First Past The Post has caused such people to be voted into Dewan. If there was a proportional system or mixed representation, perhaps there could have been a different outcome. Because of this system voters can vote for different candidates and parties.”
User @stuffypenggu also pointed out that the remark constituted sexual harassment: “I'd rather have ministers who share nasi goreng recipes than ministers who just speak without thinking about other women. This is sexual harassment, atok.”
The video clip has now gone viral with many people expressing the same sentiment, that Mohd Suhaimi’s comments were unacceptable in the Dewan Rakyat.
