- 5 years ago
PKR senator Mohd Imran Abd Hamid has apologised for his controversial suggestion to introduce a sexual harassment law protecting men from being seduced by women into committing rape and other crimes.
In a statement today, he retracted the proposal which he put forward in the Dewan Negara yesterday.
“Although my intentions were sincere, I did not expect it to be seen as a huge mistake which offended many women, as well as men who considered it an insult.
“As such, I offer my apologies and retract my proposal,” he said.
This comes after Mohd Imran was roundly criticised for his proposal, with various parties calling it "victim-blaming".
