Bung Moktar sees red at Kok's dress, knees

BN's outspoken Kinabatangan MP Bung Moktar Radin today attempted to raise a standing order in Parliament to complain against the dressing of DAP's Seputeh MP Teresa Kok.

Bung stood up abruptly during the sitting and asked deputy speaker Ismail Mohamed Said to reprimand Kok for her dress, which he said was "inappropriate".

"The skirt goes until the knees, I can see the knees, how can this dress be allowed?" he asked.

This clearly angered Kok, who stood up and asked Bung to retract his remarks.

"The top is like a T-shirt, it's all red, this is not how you dress in Parliament," he said.

To this, Kok retorted that if Bung had a problem with her red top, he is equally guilty for wearing a yellow tie.

"Do you have no other work?" she asked Bung.

Persevering with his line of argument, Bung said that if Kok is allowed to dress as such, schoolgirls who visit the Parliament will assume that they can "dress however they want".

Ismail, however, ended the bizarre debate early when he told the MPs that since today was the last day of the Parliament sitting, he preferred not to take anything seriously.

"Never mind, I allow (Kok to remain in the House)," he said.
