Protest against yucky MPs May 14, 2007

UPDATE: The protest has been moved forward to 11 am.
The women’s groups have had it.
The modus operandi of NGOs when they are troubled is usually to write letters and hold press conferences. But last week was the last straw. So this is kinda a big deal when women’s NGOs go protesting on the streets.
They’re organising a protest outside the Ministry of Women against those yucky MPs who are content with making sexist jokes and remarks, and their brethren who cheer them on.
Please come!
“SAY YOU’RE SORRY! Or, Resign yucky MPs!”
Date: 15th May (Tuesday)
Time: 2.30pm
Venue: Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development
Level 1-6, Block E, Bukit Perdana Government Complex, Jalan Dato’ Onn
Kuala Lumpur (near Bank Negara)
[...] Protest against yucky MPs [...]
do let aljazeera english channel know of this. let them be there to broadcast this to the world on their everywoman and the news. hold up placards with their faces on them so the world will know what they look like. let’s shame those silly MPs.
Men divides,
Women nurtures,
Women unites in way no men ever could!
“yucky mp’s” – brilliant!
[...] their heads. But mind you, when I read about our Parliament recent rumpus and brouhaha here, and here, I was merry – not because of the sexist remarks, but the conduct and performance of some members [...]
They may be pressured to apologies but not to resign. Could you imagine two more by-elections if they do?
