Malaysian men are lazy’Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says that despite the equal number of men and women in the society, more women have successfully entered higher learning institutions than men and would eventually be earning higher salaries than the men. He says in Kelantan, the men spent their time smoking in coffee shops while the women worked very hard.
KUALA LUMPUR, 0ct 29, 2014: Women are fast leaving the opposite sex behind, and if men do not step up their game soon, they may become the home-keepers.
The country’s longest serving premier,Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, said that despite the equal number of men and women in society, more women had successfully entered higher learning institutions than men.
This, he said, posed a problem as more accomplished women ended up having to marry those with a lower qualification.
“Then, the women end up earning higher salaries, becoming their families’ breadwinners while the men will be confined to the kitchen,” Dr Mahathir told participants at the Women Extraordinaire Forum 2014 (WEF 2014) here today.
The former Prime Minister received a loud cheer for the statement which he said was the reason for growing support for same-sex relationships.
Dr Mahathir jokingly suggested home-skills education be provided to male students so that they could become better house-husbands.
He also lamented that Malaysian men were too lazy, citing the Kelantanese as an example.
“In Kelantan, you can see the women working very hard while the men sit in a coffee shop, smoking cigarettes.”
However, Dr Mahathir later voiced his concern over the fact that with more women focusing on their careers, the children would be left vulnerable to society’s negative influences.
Children, he argued, were deprived of quality time with their parents, especially their mothers, if both husband and wife were working.
The children, DrMahathir said, would end up going to friends for advice and instead receive the wrong kind of exposure.
“That’s how many end up being Mat Rempits.”
Dr Mahathir then suggested that schools introduce a class where students were educated on right and good life values.
The government, he said, should consider providing appropriate classes in schools‎ that would help instil proper values in children, apart from religious and moral classes.
