Terengganu’s new legislation covers “females conceiving or giving birth to a child out of wedlock” i.e WOMEN & GIRLS!

FYI, unplanned teen pregnancies are no.1 reason for child marriages- & Terengganu is 1 of 3 states with ⬆️ child marriage applications via Sharia courts! Terengganu will penalise pregnant underage girls w max 3 yrs jail, 5K fine & 6 strokes of rotan while boys/men who father babies GO SCOT FREE!

NO CSE ❌
NO promotion of contraceptives ❌

YES ✅ to pushing pregnant teenage girls into child marriages, life cycle abuse & poverty!

WHERE ARE THE WOMEN in all these negotiations to form 🇲🇾 new govt?

If you’re wondering why it’s taking SO LONG for MALE ONLY politicians to reach an agreement ⬇️

FYI- global research PROVES that compared to men- women tend towards cooperation, empathy & ethics. These traits make women highly effective problem solvers. Exactly what such political negotiations need.

SO- WHERE ARE THE WOMEN POLITICIANS?

Plus, these traits are also linked with an increase in long-term value of the negotiations women do participate in!

Rina Harun’s TikTok IS embarrassing.

But, more imp it’s ACTIVELY HARMFUL 2 real women living w DV. Rosyam Nor’s sexist humour & Minister/civil servants social acceptance of it NORMALISES male violence against women- while discouraging survivors from reporting. APPALLING! Irony is Rosyam’s actually Duta Perintis Usanita ⬇️ it’s SO HARMFUL when sexist, anti-woman humour is:

1) natural path for cheap popularity by industry veterans
2) sexist stereotypes r furthered via large social media platforms instead of actual support for female entrepreneurs

This was my childhood, teens & early 20’s- up & down JPN Shah Alam,Putrajaya with my 🇲🇾 Mom:
• getting student visa extensions then social visit passes
• processing endless paperwork while dealing w abuse, xenophobia from officers.

I’ve lived in 🇲🇾 since 1995. I’m still not 🇲🇾

Finally receiving my Malaysian PR in 2010 TRANSFORMED my life.

In the struggle to catch up,I’d no time to dwell on what I’ve lost, only being able to start somewhat LIVING at 26.

Career opportunities, access 2 services is better since 2010- but FAR from non discriminatory!

JUST IN: CoA in agreement w Govt of Malaysia tht Malaysian mothers cannot pass citizenship to overseas born kids.

🇲🇾 women ARE indeed second class citizens- no wonder we have a 57% migration rate- the 2nd highest regionally.

I mean, look how we treat women who WANT TO STAY!🤯

Malaysian men have constitutional right to pass on citizenship to overseas born children just because of their gender.

Malaysian women meanwhile- WHO BIRTH actual children- too bad!
Womb bearing doesn’t mean you have ANY EQUAL CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS!

MAJU eh #KeluargaMalaysia 🤯

1/ Blaming Malaysians for diabetes, obesity without increasing wages (step 1 in affording better nutrition) is cruelly disingenuous.

I grew up w Mom counting last Rm10 in her wallet, then last Rm2- every month. We ate WHATEVER she could afford. FOOD WAS GOOD- CHEAP FOOD BETTER. 2/ I’m sure Mom wanted to make better nutritional choices,she was educated enough to know better- just couldn’t afford it on her wages.
Poverty, Food Insecurity, Poor Nutrition directly impact Health & Well-Being. Raising minimum wage is ONE way to immediately make a difference.
