He said in a statement on Wednesday (June 7) that the act by the woman shows a total lack of sensitivity and empathy towards Malaysians and the victims’ families.

“This video also clearly depicts behavior that is contrary to the values of Asian countries that are known for their manners and morals. I believe this is not a stance or action accepted by any country let alone reflect the official stance of any government,” he said, adding that any action or attempt like this should be stopped,” said Zambry.
