PENANG: If the dress was not sexy, the incident would not have happened.
This was Penang Municipal Council president Datuk Abu Bakar Hassan’s response to a complaint that a closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera in the City Hall was zooming in on the thighs of women journalists instead of council proceedings.
Abu Bakar was unhappy over the “sexy” attire worn by some women reporters during council meetings.
On Friday, a reporter spotted the image of a woman’s thighs on the CCTV monitor in the control room and alerted other journalists who complained to council secretary Ooi Chin Loo.
New Straits Times journalist Melissa Darlyne Chow, 23, who lodged a police report yesterday, said she was surprised by Abu Bakar’s “sexist” statement.
“He's implying that I was not properly attired and that I deserved the unwanted attention,” she said.
State Local Government committee chairman Datuk Dr Teng Hock Nan said he was awaiting a report from the council.

I dunno if you guys have read about this, but come on! Honestly, what the FUCK?! How can you blame the reporter for "wearing sexy clothes" when one of your own staff is a bloody pervert? Hell, i'm not a woman's rights person, i'm not even a female, but it's really illogical, not to mention plain FUCKING IDIOTIC. It's exactly as she said, the minister was implying she deserved the attention. Just goes to show how much some TYPES of ppl can't control their animalistic urges, not to mention the level of disrespect towards women is unforgivable under ANY circumstance. Stop pointing the FUCKING finger Mr so called Datuk. Just keep it in your pants, and none of this would happen.

wtf?
this is like, the mufti in australia, saying that those women who were raped deserved to be rape because they wore revealing clothes. and he gave the bloody stupid analogy, saying that if you leave a fish lying around on the floor, surely the cat would eat it.
its like, you bully someone, and when your teacher ask you why you bully him, you tell her it's his fault for being a loser.
makes sense, doesnt it?
