Nik Abdul Aziz, the spiritual leader of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, who appeared at LGF in 2003 when he issued a statement that Malaysian women shouldn’t wear lipstick or perfume (even under a hijab) because it might drive men into a frenzy of molestation and rape, now says women’s sexy clothing is causing him to lose sleep.
It’s “emotional abuse.”
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysia’s Muslim men are suffering sleepless nights and cannot pray properly because their thoughts are distracted by a growing number of women who wear sexy clothes in public, a prominent cleric said.
Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, the spiritual leader of the opposition Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, said he wanted to speak about the “emotional abuse” that men face because it is seldom discussed, the party reported on its Web site Wednesday.
“We always [hear about] the abuse of children and wives in households, which is easily perceived by the eye, but the emotional abuse of men cannot be seen,” Nik Abdul Aziz said. “Our prayers become unfocused and our sleep is often disturbed.”
