Controversial columnist and preacher Ridhuan Tee Abdullah has irked MCA with his latest views on women being rape victims.

MCA Youth National Chairman Chong Sin Woon said he was “disgusted” by Ridhuan’s logic in the latter’s column this week and called on Bahasa Malaysia daily Sinar Harian to bring an end to Ridhuan’s column in their paper altogether.

This attack on women, Chong said, was an addition to Ridhuan’s many “hate speeches” in the past against religious minorities, Chinese primary schools and Chinese education.

“As a man, husband and father, I am totally disgusted that Ridhuan could even debase his own fellowmen as if there is only one thing in our minds as soon as we see a woman.


Irrespective of how women were attired, there was no excuse whatsoever for men who raped them, he said.

“Ridhuan Tee is a thorough disgrace to all men for his misogynistic mentality, debasing men, besides being a racist who has forgotten his roots,” Chong said in a statement today.

Chong was referring to Ridhuan having penned that a woman’s body was seductive and erotic, which attracted rapists.

Ridhuan also said covering up did not necessarily guarantee that the person would not be raped, but if they did, it was fate.

“Ridhuan is completely belittling the trauma a rape victim has to endure, be it during the attack, the aftermath during investigation and even whilst testifying in court.

“While Ridhuan wants to blame attire and confine rape to women, he ignores other factors involving rape, namely paedophiles who prey on minor children, in particular those who have not even reached puberty. These child victims are not only girls, but young boys, too,” added Chong.

He said it could not be ignored that sexual assault by men against other men also took place.

“Likewise, assault by women against women and incest, can be considered as other forms of rape.”
