MPs apologise for sexist remarks
“I am very sorry. I apologise to all women. It was a slip of the tongue, said in the heat of the moment,” said Mohd Said, adding, “I respect all women and the liberation of women.”
In Kota Kinabalu, Bung Mokhtar also expressed his apology to all women for his “unintended remarks.”
“It was not my intention to hurt any woman.”
“I said it in the heat of an argument with DAP members, who were calling me binatang (animal) and accusing the Barisan Nasional of corruption.
“I strongly feel that women’s feelings should be respected,” he told The Star.
In Sin Chew
（吉隆坡）“月漏論”峰迴路轉；原本要道歉的兩國會議員，反而說沒有道歉這回事，只說受指示在週五（18日）到婦女部會見莎麗扎。
野新國會議員拿督莫哈末賽益取消原定今日（週三，16日）下午3時的記者會，並強調不會道歉，只會等到週五見莎麗扎後才發言。

However when malaysiakini contacted Mohd Said for comment, he denied making any apology.
“Why should I apologise? This was a matter raised during debate in Parliament. This is usual,” he said.
He also said he would meet Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil on Friday to explain his remarks.
Bung Mokhtar did not pick up his telephone when contacted but was quoted in Sin Chew Daily denying issuing any apology.
“No such thing,” he was quoted as saying.
May I ask? The sexist remark towards to someone is consider okay as long as the other one is from opposition party? Why can’t look it in the big picture? Did you think it is an honour to “play” this show in front of the World? I don’t think so, what about you?

Very dissapointed that 2 MP “bocor” incident and appologize in unsincere and discriminate women.
KJ: It is indeed. In fact, they thought that was nothing to care about because of the Parliamentary privilege. These MPs don’t deserve to be in house. They are not qualified at all. However, if Malaysians don’t do something, they still there. We just tell the World we (voters) don’t know how to vote a quality MP in house. I feel shame on it.
