Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor has come under fire from female Pakatan Rakyat parliamentarians for comparing property values with that of cosmetics for women, with the MPs asking him to be given "gender education".
PKR's Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin (left) and DAP's Seputeh MP Teresa Kok both made the urging through separate statements today.
"Tengku Adnan is severely in need of gender education judging from his analogy to equate women to properties," Zuraida said, while stating that she can only "imagine the amount of make-up worn by his family members".

"Is Tengku Adnan a cosmetics salesman or a minister?" she asked.
Teresa, the national DAP vice-chairperson, said that it was “necessary” to give Tengku Adnan a course in “gender sensitivity”.
“With his latest off-colour analogy, I must say that Tengku Adnan is the most confused minister in cabinet, one who can't even differentiate human beings with properties,” she said.
“Women are not properties, they don't tag with a price. The property valuation hike carried out by DBKL cannot be likened to women with make-up, these two are not comparable,” she added.
She also urged Tengku Adnan to retract the remarks and then offer an apology.
