baju kurung fashion hosted in her Minister’s office, complete with professional photographers and makeup artists.
Netizens were quick to call her out for the disrespectful use of taxpayer money and the lack of responsibility taken in her role as the Women, Family, and Community Development Minister.
Netizens critized her for focusing more on “glamming up” in the middle of a pandemic, while her ministry seems to have little achievements accounted for since the beginning of the pandemic and movement control order (MCO) last year.
The lack of deliverables from Rina Harun’s ministry comes hand-in-hand with reports of how women and children are severely impacted by the MCO, as women are hardest hit by the pandemic.

MP SPEAKS | I welcome the reaction by the Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador to have all those responsible for the lock-up rape to be charged in court and there will be no compromise on it.
The first step in handling a rape case of this magnitude is a resolute admission and acknowledgement that a rape did indeed happen within the walls of the police lock-up and that the perpetrators be charged in court, as advocated by DAP Senator Alan Ling who had accompanied the minor and her father to lodge a police report on the incident.

MP SPEAKS | In the midst of skyrocketing numbers of Covid-19 cases hitting a new high of 4,029, incidents of sexual violations tend to fall through the cracks in the news.
All attention is naturally on clusters, infected communities and how soon can the vaccine arrive.
My biggest fear came true when I read about
the case of a 16-year-old girl who was detained in the police lockup in the Miri Police Station, Sarawak on Jan 8, 2021, as a suspect in a gambling raid.
She was raped while being held under detention under police custody by another inmate the next day on Jan 9 between 4 to 5 am.
FOR three weeks beginning Dec 18,2020, there were doubts if Batu Kawan Bhd would be successful in its offer to take over Chemical Company of Malaysia Bhd (CCM).
This is following the emergence of low-profile seasoned investor Pui Cheng Wui in CCM with a 16.12% stake.
If Pui did not accept the offer, Batu Kawan would not be able to reach the 90% acceptance level threshold to take CCM off Bursa Malaysia.
Pui purchased the shares, amounting to 27.56 million, from the open market. The amount is staggering and would have cost Pui some RM83mil, assuming he purchased the shares at RM3.08 each. Batu Kawan’s offer for CCM was RM3.10 per share, hence leaving him a two sen margin.
