Bikin malu urang Sabah…this is not the first time these 2 best friend buat hal….if u guys followed closely the parliament proceedings news during these past 3 years you know what i mean. They should have thought about they grandma, mother, wife and daughter before making the remark. That was totally uncalled for. They remind me of a similiar story that happened several years ago 
Let’s wait how long it will took them to say sorry

Sexist MPs at work again

KUALA LUMPUR (May 10, 2007): It was clearly a sexist remark made by an MP. But Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Ramli Ngah Talib today needed an unprecedented four and a half hours to make a decision whether to refer the MP to the Parliamentary Rights and Privileges Committee for disciplinary action.
Ramli returned from lunch and said “No”.
On Wednesday morning, the debate turned into a ruckus when the Parliament House roof sprang leaks in several parts during a downpour.
In the heat of the debate and shouts over the “leaky” Parliament House, which had undergone an RM80 million renovation about two years ago, one phrase went unnoticed.
Fong Po Kuan (DAP-Batu Gajah) then reviewed the video recording of the proceedings and felt humiliated. She then filed a motion this morning to refer the two BN MPs (one for making the sexist remarks and the other for supporting the remarks) - Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin (BN-Kinabatangan) and Datuk Mohd Said Yusof (BN-Jasin) - to the committee.
The recording exposed Bung as saying: “Mana bocor, Batu Gajah pun tiap-tiap bulan pun bocor juga.” (”Where is the leak? Batu Gajah MP also leaks every month.”)
“I was humiliated ÉThis should not happen in this august hall,” she told Ramli.
Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Timur) said: “Parliament will be a laughing stock of the world by allowing such male chauvinistic speeches. Yesterday, there was pandemonium in the House, otherwise we will be objecting it immediately … Saying sorry is not enough, they should be punished.”
M.Kulasegaran (DAP-Ipoh Barat) said as a man, he felt ashamed for such remarks made in the country’s highest legislation institution.
Mohd Said stood and retorted: “When I wanted to debate on the serious issue, there was this scuffle and shouting.”
Irked by his remark, Fong said: “I regret that he did not repent for what he had said. I urge the BN women MPs to support my motion as well.”
The motion, however, was rejected by Ramli after the sitting reconvened after lunch break.
Citing Standing Order 26 (1P), he said he could not allow the motion as it was not brought up when the incident occurred.
“It happened yesterday afternoon but the motion was only raised this morning. So I have to reject the motion,” he said, to cheers from some BN MPs.
Ramli’s decision immediately drew flak from DAP MPs.
“Your rejection allows them (BN MPs) to celebrate … We did not create the story. We checked the video and it happened,” Lim screamed.
Trying to restore peace, Ramli said: “I also regret what had happened. But I can’t enlarge the power given under 26 (1p).”
Chong Chieng Jen (BN-Bandar Kuching) rebutted that Karpal Singh (DAP-Bukit Gelugur) had been referred to the committee although the matter was only brought up a few days after the incident.
“YB Bukit Gelugur was not referred to the committee under the 26 (1p), so it’s a different matter,” said Ramli, to another round of table-thumping and laughter from BN MPs.
“Shameful! Shameful! They are celebrating there!” shouted Lim.
Seeing the appeal heading nowhere, DAP MPs then urged the Speaker to ask the duo to at least apologise.
Ramli then ordered all MPs to sit down and continue with the debate on Capital Markets and Services Bill 2007.
In a press conference called after the motion was rejected, Fong said she was disappointed that no BN women MPs had lent their support.
“I am sad and disappointed that no BN women MPs voiced their objection … it’s a phrase that humiliates women,” she added.
