Teresa Kok remark - lawyers grill Pasir Salak MP in suit against three

Counsel for defendants in a defamation suit filed by Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman against Federal Territories Minister Khalid Abdul Samad and two others today zeroed in on the Umno leader's controversial remarks against Seputeh MP Teresa Kok.

During their cross-examination of Tajuddin as the first witness in his suit, the lawyers argued that the MP's remark made in Parliament on Nov 21, 2016, was "sexist, misogynistic and had vilified a Chinese surname".
