Sexual harassment law: Azalina opposes ministry sec-gen as 'moral enforcer'

PARLIAMENT | Azalina Othman Said (BN-Pengerang) objected the appointment of the Women, Families and Community Development secretary-general as the Special Anti-Sexual Harassment administrator under the Anti-Sexual Harassment Bill 2021.

She argued the proposed appointment risked having a single individual acting as a "moral enforcer" against sexual harassment and this could lead to legal challenge under administrative laws.
