PKR MP: Drinking Timah whiskey like 'drinking a Malay woman'
- 2 years ago
A PKR lawmaker has likened drinking the controversial Timah brand whiskey to "drinking a Malay woman".
Rusnah Aluai (Pakatan Harapan-Tangga Batu) said the brand and the imagery used was too confusing and should be changed.
"Can't Timah be given a different brand name? The mines or something.
"It is not good for women, because Timah is imagined as a Malay woman, kak Timah, mak Timah, mak cik Timah, so when we drink the whiskey it is as though we are drinking a Malay woman," she said in the Dewan Rakyat today while interjecting in a debate amendments to the Trade Descriptions Act.
