M'sian MP Ibrahim Ali: Men have extramarital sex as wives 'neglect' duty

Malaysian men have extramarital sex because of 'wives who neglect their responsibilities' to their husbands, a Malaysian lawmaker told Parliament on Thursday, reports AFP. "Husbands driving home after work see things that are sexually arousing and go to their wives to ease their urges," said independent lawmaker Ibrahim Ali, as quoted by online portal Malaysiakini.

well, after reading above news( there are actually much more), it seems that it is quiet normal even legal for Malaysian man to bully women and nobody in the country gives a # about this.

As far as I know that Malaysia is a Muslim country, so anyone could tell if this happens in other Muslim country, or Malaysia is adopted a Patriarchal society system?

Anyway, I feel sad the Malaysian women.

i have been to malaysia several times... what you are reporting on happens all over the world, within every culture, race and religion etc.
i found Malaysians to be decent people and you are correct in it being a predominantly muslim country, but they are not extremist and the country is completely mixed with various races and religions..
to answer your question.. no it is not right for any man, from any part of the world to bully woman and vice versa, (im sure there are many woman bullying men)
i have to add, to take one story which happens worldwide and claim all malaysian men are wife beaters or bullies is wrong..

Would have to agree 100% this stuff happens 100% around the world. My late uncle he was a @#$% and beat his wife so it is not representative of Malays as a whole. No way. What it seems is the smart lawyer is trying to get to get his client off based of "Extremist" (not moderate) Muslim principles on how women should be treated.


To quote someone famous "kill all the lawyers kill them tonight" ,,,,,,,

As Misterlondon said, this isn't unique to Malaysia - sadly, it's a worldwide issue.

While it may be more common in some Muslim nations, where women's rights are...well,, non-existent, it still happens in much of the Western world.

Sucks, but there you go.

The only difference is when women murder their husbands in the west, they are celebrated as a hero by the "all girls club".

it is illegal, if she passes away, he will be charge for murder. malaysia have a mandatory death penalty for murder. also ,please disregard this foul mouth ibrahim ali fellar. he is nothing but a # stirrer that is trying to cause disunity among the multi ethnic cultural for his own political survival.

What's slightly unusual about Malaysia's position on this issue is that it has been raised in parliament in such a way as to condone and therefore give license to, marital abuse by men.

What is unusual compared to western values is that men are actively encouraged to believe they are not responsible for their actions, that women are responsible for men not being in control of themselves.

What is insane about the Islamic approach to relationships is that by violently oppressing half of the population on the basis of gender, they in effect reduce their capacity for national growth.

Bullies are self defeatist. Insane to pursue this as a national policy.

it was never a national policy in malaysia, like i say, you guys can ignore this ibrahim ali fellar, he has been shunned by many, to keep his political life going, he will do and say anything that of benefit to himself only..

I am a malaysian of chinese descent...the majority of malay, chinese and indian does not support these type of comments or act..also majority of the malay female are independent and career woman, it is very hard to find a muslim men marrying more than 1 wives in malaysia..except for the older generations.

This isn't true. It depends on the circumstances when women are stuck up for by other women. Years ago they were going to change self defense laws in Canada to be more, women friendly, than male friendly, equal.

Women are in a small amount of murder rates, amounting for less than 4% of all the murders, and most of them, according to their own prison stats, are in abusive situations , possibly as much as 40-60% of those.
This was in the days when they had decent talk shows interviewing real topics with government accepted facts brought out. Have no idea of what the nazi media depicts.

The change would have accounted for a woman not being able to defend herself physically by someone bigger and stronger than her. Many women who defend themselves in the moment so to speak, get killed or put in the hospital, or pushed down stairs and broken up. Self defense for a woman in a position some women, who have tried to leave, and the police support the abusive male, and end up with their families threatened, with their lives and after further stalking and violence, possibly a sibling or niece and nephew injured with no way to convince the police, go back to these men over and over. And sometimes the way they escape, is self defense after they were beaten, ie. like when he's sleeping.

If it was your daugther you'd get it, your sister, your friend.

An aquaintance, who had past connections with a certain group, ended up having the father of her baby chase her around the townhouse with a chain saw, and she escaped by jumping from the second story window, hurting her ankle really bad, getting to a phone and phoning the police. He meanwhile hid the chainsaw in a room, broke dishes in the kitched so when the police arrived, he told them she was crazy, and threw a fit and broke things up, and a long song and dance later, they left her with this man, without checking the house for the still warm to touch chain saw, or questioning the neighbors if they heard anything.

This is a typical reaction for police everywhere, you can here repeats or similar stories over and over.

In her case, she mentioned this to an old aquaintance from her black market days who adviced her to leave town. She did, she moved away. He's no longer in the world. Did that make her a murderer? What about those who don't have friends. This man had stalked her family several times when she tried to leave and threatened everyone.


I know another woman, who was living in the bush with her husband and small children, and he was abusive, also, held a shotgun to her head. She did escape, she hitchiked out along a mountain road carrying stuff on her back, her baby and small child, though very rare traffic for the kootenays in the woods. She was risking him being the vehicle and being forced back to another beating of her life. Luckily she sought help and shelter and got a job, was protected by a group of people, her family nowhere nearby for him to harass. But if he had been the one, wonder what she would have done to escape.
