Singapore President Halimah Yacob and Minister in-charge of Muslim Affairs Masagos Zulkifli have expressed concern about an online poll sexualising female Muslim religious teachers, which is being investigated by police, the local media reported on Friday. In a Facebook post, the President, in a rare pubic outburst, said, "Is there no limit to how low some will stoop to degrade and defile women? Not only those who conducted the (online) poll but those who participated in it also deserve our strongest condemnation. "MUIS (Islamic Religious Council of Singapore) and the police should fully investigate this and punish those found guilty. This is not just the worst kind of harassment that is against our law but amounts to an open invitation to commit sexual violence against women.More Related News
